English Club Newsletter

The purpose of this English Club

Newsletter is to inform the English

Department and Kutztown Community

about the important events that the

club participates in and hosts

throughout the semester. The club is

currently getting involved with other

clubs and organizations both on campus

The Kutztown English Club Newsletter:

What’s New with EC at KU? Welcome back Kutztown University

students, faculty, and staff! The English

Club has hit the ground running this

semester and already has a very full

schedule. We are planning potential trips

to New York City, the Poe House in

Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. We

are going to continue helping Better

World Books and have our own book

drive, Merchant Trick-Or-Treat, and the

Lehigh Valley Vanguard. Pretzel and

candy sales will be happening in Lytle. If

anyone has anything that they would like

to see happen please let our officers

know.

Please welcome our new advisors, Prof

Shaw and Dr. Lynch-Biniek!

and in the community. This newsletter

is a source of fundraising and service

projects, literary event announcements,

contact information for the officers and

advisors, and pictures of contemporary

English Club events. Contact Vice

President, Megan Mehalick, with any

questions, comments, or concerns!
