CUNY Creative Writing Events Calendar

Erika Dreifus posting this one–I’m on staff in the central Office of Academic Affairs (OAA), and I’m also a writer like the rest of you!

Just want to make sure that you all know about the Creative Writing at CUNY mini-site that was built by the central Office of Academic Affairs way back when. One of its features is an Writing Events Calendar that we in OAA try to keep updated (our main source for this is usually the main CUNY events calendar, where all MFA program coordinators/directors are invited to submit campus-based event info). The OAA mini-site is intended to cover creative writing on all CUNY campuses, at both the undergraduate and graduate level.

We’ve recently updated the calendar with a lot of spring goings-on, including the Turnstyle series. We’ll keep updating throughout the semester. Please visit soon & often!

Remembering Oscar Hijuelos

The Center for Fiction published a tribute to CCNY graduate Oscar Hijuelos, who recently passed away.

Remembering Oscar Hijuelos

Frederic Tuten recalls the artist as a young man

In the early 1970s, Oscar came to my graduate fiction writing class at City College, equipped only with himself; no airs literary or personal. He had confidence, in a nervous way, and addressed the writing of his fellow students with kindness and directness, without intellectual bullshit. Oscar had come from an immigrant family; he may have been the first to go to college. My other students came from high-toned private colleges and felt they belonged. He had come from City College’s undergraduate program, which, in its grand days, had been called the Proletarian Harvard.
