Student Activities

Students in the Frostburg State University English Program are actively engaged in campus life. From the Valentine's Day Reading to the Community Veteran's Day Reading, from Relay for Life to the Program Picnic, from the Shakespeare Festival to Majors Fair, the students in the English Program always have something going on!

Program Picnic

Each September the English Program has a picnic that coincides with the Cambridge American Stage Tour visit. This year we were rained out! We moved indoors to the Baptist Student Center.

Cambridge American Stage Tour

Each year, we are visited by students from Cambridge University in Great Britain. They bring a fabulous production of one of Shakespeare's plays and visit classes.

English Colloquium

The English Program sponsors an annual event that allows students to present their best papers. Papers are chosen based on a blind review and evaluated on standard criteria. On Colloquium day, after lunch and a plenary session, sessions organized by theme and moderated by English Program members take place.

Banned Books Reading

The program supports the American Library Association's Banned Books week by celebrating the freedom to read.

Veteran's Support

Sigma Tau Delta members and student veterans have a bake sale to raise money for CARE packages for soldiers. They raised over $200 in one day!

Veteran's Day Reading

In November, we celebrate our veterans with a community reading.

Majors Fair

We recruit new English majors!

Relay for Life

Relay for Life, a fundraiser for cancer research, is a huge spring event on the FSU campus. The English Program has a strong Relay Team that has beat its team goal three years running.
