Creative Writing Class at O.S.U. for CAHS students

A member of the Friends of CAHS, and a professor in OSU's creative writing department, Michelle Herman, has offered CAHS students the opportunity to attend a creative writing class at OSU. Prospective students must be interested in creative writing, majoring in English, or sitting in on an OSU English class. In addition, Arab-American writer, Diana Abu Jaber, is coming to OSU to read and talk about her books on the evening of November 5th at OSU. In 2005, Abu Jaber wrote a culinary memoir about her life in upstate New York entitled The Language of Baklava. I just finished reading her page-turning literary suspense novel, Origin, which I highly recommend. Any CAHS student who is interested in hearing Ms. Abu Jaber can get a free ticket for the event from Michelle Herman. Michelle can be contacted at herman.2@osu.edu.
