Practice makes perfect

You can put your creative energies toward NOTA, the campus arts magazine, or toward other student publications. You can practice your communication skills and get invaluable professional experience in our numerous writing internships with local businesses and non-profit organizations. There are also the Linguistics Club and the English honor society, Sigma Tau Delta.

English Fest

This annual festival (in its 16th year!) is a celebration of English studies and is coordinated by students. This festival often provides a stage to showcase student and faculty work as well as invite visiting writers and scholars to campus. You can also attend the International Poetry reading — where poetry is read in 30 different languages! You can attend or participate in readings, contests, panel discussions, keynote speakers, word games, live music and much more at this UW-Eau Claire tradition, perhaps the largest university language arts festival in the country!

International literatures

Students have the opportunity to study international literatures in their courses at UW-Eau Claire and while spending a semester in one of 13 countries, including Great Britain, through the university’s exchange programs.
