OGSW
The Organization of Graduate Student Writers consists of representatives from the Creative Writing MFA and is dedicated to providing students with opportunities to practice, enjoy, and participate in the creative writing community. We do this by organizing readings, workshops, visiting speakers, and other free events and services for the MFA/CSU community.
We would love to hear from you! Please reach out to OGSWCSU@gmail.com with questions, thoughts, or feedback for us.
