The English club was started by Carolyn Stoermer, an English professor, and has existed on campus for a couple of years. The club has done numerous activities from book sales, to fundraisers and drives and to holiday parties and events.
"We do a lot of different things. Our main goal is to promote the love of reading and literacy at Wright State and in our community. Most recently, we did a children's book drive and holiday party so it's kind of relaxing talking about our favorite children's books and donating them to Hannah's Treasure Chest to go to children for Christmas this year," said English major Kayla Mosley.
Another English club member, Dylan Ward, discussed how the club does book sales on campus along with outsides activities involving the community.
"We also donate to a women's prison and how it includes a small library run by the prisoners. We are also promoting literacy and learning in that environment as well to help people who are in that situation and have an easier time at returning after their time spent," he said.
Thursday and Friday meetings can last between thirty minutes to an hour. Mosley and Ward mentioned that at these meetings they discuss what activities they are planning next whether it is "a book drive, a book sale, or party or event to bring people around."
"As a creative writing major, I love literature and I enjoy just being able to engage with the literary community with the way we do," Ward said.
English club meetings will resume in January 2018. "We are looking for more people to join and we have recently made our Twitter account and we are on Facebook," according to Ward.
