Several participants in the “Seven Doctors Project” will present original writings during the Schwartz Center Rounds on Thursday, May 14 at 11:45 a.m. in the Eppley Science Hall Amphitheater, Room 3010.
The project — the brainchild of Omaha-area poet Steve Langan — has paired UNMC faculty members with local writers in a writing workshop environment
The project started in early 2008 and, since then, three groups of faculty members have participated in the project.
Aside from the presentations of their writing, Langan and the project participants will discuss effects creative writing has had on their lives and their work.
