Welcome

English Festival Student Organization
We are a dedicated group of students who organize a language arts festival every spring. Through our organization you can gain valuable festival planning experience while getting to know fellow students (many of whom are English majors/minors) and faculty of UW-Eau Claire.

Written Words Speak
Drawing on the idea of the memoir, language has the
power to transcend boundaries and illuminate the commonalities of human nature. It narrates
our past and teaches us
about ourselves.
The written word speaks.
