An evening of stories, poetry, and connection is coming to campus! CSEA members Valerie Cumming, Martha Bove, and Brett Sipes have organized Tuesday Tales: An Evening of Written Art, an open mic prose and poetry reading event for students and faculty on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, from 5:30–7:00 p.m.

Join Creative Writing students and faculty in Mitchell Hall 303 or on Zoom to share in the creativity of our campus community. Attendees are invited to read their own original prose or poetry, or simply listen and enjoy the work of their peers. Snacks will be available for those attending in person.

By creating opportunities for students to share their writing and connect with faculty and one another, these CSEA members are helping students build confidence, find their voices, and feel a sense of belonging. Tuesday Tales is a welcoming way to support student success while celebrating the creative work happening at Columbus State.

Come celebrate creativity and the connections that help our students thrive!
