Writers House Application: Spring 2013

Writers House logo.

Note: This application is designed for Spring 2013 incoming students, not current students. If you presently live in a Geneseo residence hall and are interested in moving to Writers House for the Spring 2013 semester, you should talk to your Resident Director or Area Coordinator.

Residential College houses are distinctive and creative communities in which residents develop their own collective expectations and goals each year. Each Residential College house has one or more Faculty Fellows who work with students in the community, planning programs, dinners, and service projects.

Members of Writers House will have the opportunity to participate in readings and workshops presented by visiting writers, share their own poetry, stories, journalism, drama, song lyrics, graphic novels, etc. with other members of the House, work together on student publications, and take courses in the seminar room in Seneca Hall. Students invited to live in Writers House will be expected to participate in the house’s unique culture and to support the community’s expectations and goals.

In order for you to be considered for residency in the Seneca Hall Writers House for Spring 2013, kindly submit this application by December 1, 2012. Feel free to contact the Residence Life Office at (585) 245-5726 with any questions about this application.
