UNC Student Organization for Undergraduate Literature

-advertise authors from North Carolina or who stayed here while writing i.e. Thomas Wolfe, Walker Percy, tour Betty Smith’s house on Rosemary Street
-Movie nights are to be works about novels, authors, or stories worth discussing on film. The following are just some suggestions:
-Dead Poet’s Society,Wonder Boys,The Hours,The Lives of Others
-The many stories of works

-Birthday parties for major authors, particularly Shakespeare, Thomas Wolf, and Walker Percy,-this might include readings and get the professors to put on skits
-Mixers with faculty and students!!! let's have several of these events
-Bring in speakers
-Peer poetry reading sessions
-all writers (esp those in the creative writing department) are welcome to read their own work and receive comments back from peers (no faculty). We might want this even to be a work shop session
-Attend poetry slam
-Short story club: because we’re all too busy to read full books, we might have a group decide on a short story they’d like to read and discuss
-Story time for kids! Give kids in the community a chance to come and have UNC students read their favorite children’s stories (either ones they enjoyed growing up or wrote themselves)
-Game night
-Take a professor out to lunch for a one on one session
-get professors to come and give a short talk on their favorite work
-Go see plays in the community. This fall Goethe’s Arcadia is coming to Carolina as is Romeo and Juliet
-Movie theatre outings together and discussion afterwards. Such as Atonement. Any others?
-Luncheons: faculty make food and bring it in and socialize with students
-Curriculum forum: professors and students discuss the requirements for the major

Any other ideas or refinements of these ideas?
