We’re delighted to introduce our new MFA Project Manager: Academic Affairs, Amber Duntley. Amber holds a BFA from Tufts University/The School for the Museum of Fine Arts and an MS in Arts Administration from Boston University. She has served as an Assistant Dean of Admission at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, and as a Project Coordinator with TERC in Cambridge, MA. A visual artist working in fiber arts and photography, she spends her spare time “embroidering, reading, seeking out off-beat junk shops/antique stores, and photographing almost everything I see.”
Amber is still unpacking boxes in her new downtown-Asheville home, but will begin her training on Monday, June 16th. She’s looking forward to meeting our community in July.
Digital recordings of lectures from July 2008, January 2010, July 2010, and January 2014 residencies are now available for download at the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson website.
Here’s what alumnus Rolf Yngve (fiction, ’12) has to say:
“For anyone needing a feel good for themselves and craft boost, Friends of Writers has just uploaded over two dozen new lectures from the likes of Charles Baxter, Stephen Dobyns, Mary Szybist, Debra Spark — the list goes on. Maurice Manning talking about the “Fat Man’s Misery, or, The Mind of the Poem”, Robin Romm riffing on “Great Neurotics” (think Portnoy’s Complaint or The Bell Jar), another amazing Marianne Boruch journey of the mind and soul — Kevin McIlvoy climbing a new lecture ladder. These digital downloads cost $5.00 apiece, but every dime goes in scholarship support for students in the Warren Wilson MFA Program for Writers.
It beats listening to talk radio in the car, eh?”
Friends of Writers thanks Rolf for all his hard work preparing these lectures for distribution.
A reminder that applications are now being accepted for the 2014/2015 Joan Beebe Graduate Teaching Fellowship. The Fellowship offers a graduate of the MFA Program for Writers a one-year, non-renewable teaching position in the undergraduate Creative Writing program at Warren Wilson College. The Beebe Fellowship is available to all Warren Wilson MFA alumni, including those who received the degree during the years the program was at Goddard College. Some teaching experience is required. This year’s Beebe Fellow will have a concentration in fiction, although a facility with multiple genres is most beneficial for the program.
Full guidelines are available at http://www.wwcmfa.org/alumni/fellowship-opportunities/beebe-fellowship/. The deadline is February 1, 2014.
