SWC Other Writers Guild

Hi, everyone! I’m promoting one of the classes I’m teaching at SWC in the fall, ENGL 160: Advanced Creative Nonfiction! Please see the details in the flyer belo...w. ENGL 115 is a prerequisite, but other prerequisites can be waived upon presentation of a creative writing sample. For me, studying creative nonfiction has been such an empowering endeavor. In the last class I took, I remember reviewing my work and thinking, I didn’t know this was possible for me in writing. My goal is for this class to be a space in which students can create this same kind of surprise and accomplishment for themselves. Please do reach out to me with any questions. And my SWC friends, please help me spread the word! Thank you! Andrew, Annette, Elisa, Laura, Jetta, Emily, Alejandra, Alejandra, Kayla, Susan, Geoffery, Dra Sylvia, Josue, Alix, Francisco, Henry, Katie, Freddie, Elizabeth

Gloria was proud to be herself. She was featured in several versions of the Vagabond, and was one of the select few who participated with us for SWC VAMP. In Gloria's honour, wear something purple, and something shiny. Read poetry. Look at plants. Appreciate life, and honour her spirit by creating. Our best wishes to Gloria's family, and we send you our love, Gloria.

California has launched its first statewide mental health line, which is toll-free and will be staffed daily. The California Peer-Run Warm Line offers non-emergency emotional support and referrals to anyone in the state needing mental health help. It's made possible due to a state budget allocation of $10.8 million over three years.... The line is toll-free, and it will be staffed daily for most of the day. The number is 1-855-845-7415. You can use it via telephone or instant messaging. Mondays to Fridays: 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturdays: 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays: 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. The debut of the California Peer-Run Warm Line came before Thursday's World Mental Health Day. The theme this year is suicide prevention. If you or someone you know is in emotional distress or considering suicide, you can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
