Event: Twelfth Annual Fall Reading Evening and Literary Showcase

Updated Location: The Horizon Skyway Gallery and Lecture Hall (Third Floor, Room 314)

Overview of the Change
Please be advised that due to unscheduled climate-control maintenance in the service corridor adjacent to the West Campus Main Auditorium, all events planned for Friday evening's Literary Showcase have been relocated to the Horizon Skyway Gallery on the third floor of the adjoining Central Tower. While this change shifts our gathering to a different wing of the complex, the building operations staff has verified that the new venue provides equivalent tiered seating, professional sound reinforcement, and dedicated staging for all scheduled student and guest readers.
