Alvin Sherman Library hosts writing workshops
The Alvin Sherman Library will host various writing programs for aspiring authors or those who wish to improve their writing skills. Their first event was held last week on Feb. 13 and hosted special guest Victoria Landis, a professional writer, editor and artist. Landis explained to attendees how to lay out a cohesive plot and make their storylines unique. The next event will be held on Feb. 20, and hosts special guest author Danielle Joseph. Joseph plans to help attendees plan out their stories and make sure they’re not headed for a dead end in their own writing.
CommunityFest 2021 looking for volunteers
NSU plans to proceed with their annual CommunityFest event, an event that draws in an average of 4,500 people per year, but this year’s celebration will look a little different. CommunityFest will be held in a drive-through fashion on April 3. NSU is looking for organizations on campus to volunteer for two hour shifts. All those who sign up to volunteer at the event must also be able to attend a training session previous to the event. These training sessions will be held beginning April 1 and leading up to the day of the event.
