As part of my Undergraduate Departmental Representative position for the Brandeis University English department, I took on the responsibility of managing the English and Creative Writing department Facebook and Instagram accounts. I developed captivating flyers and social media graphics with the aim of increasing student engagement with the English/Creative Writing departments in despite the limitations on in-person events during the coronavirus pandemic. My portfolio includes “Literary Fun Facts,” writing prompts, and updates on exciting new faculty publications. I also handled marketing efforts for English and Creative Writing programming and events this year, including an Alumni Career Panel and the ongoing OpenBook English Faculty Podcast.
Student Profiles
I conducted interviews with high-achieving English and Creative Writing undergraduates during the 2020-2021 academic year on their academic work, career aspirations, and literary interests in order to demonstrate the full range of opportunities available to current and prospective majors within the English and Creative Writing departments.
