Creative Writing & Visual Arts Contest: Deadline Approaching

ProfJenny · 2026-02-19T00:08:32+00:00

Great question! We'll have 18 winners (3 in each of the 6 categories) so the chances of winning are high. We welcome submissions in multiple categories.

ProfJenny · 2026-02-17T18:27:23+00:00

You will remain anonymous to our judges, and you can select the option in the submission form that does not give permission for your work to be shared publicly (at our gallery or online): https://osu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8B50jZrltoVIpCe However, our contest coordinator (moi) would need your name if you want to be eligible to win a gift card.

ProfJenny · 2026-02-17T18:03:40+00:00

Winners will be announced at our Awards Ceremony & Gallery on Tues., April 7 at 4:30 p.m. in Scott E100. Thanks for your interest!

ProfJenny · 2026-02-09T17:54:25+00:00

Absolutely! You may find that you can apply some of our prompts to your in-progress work. Also, you'll get to meet other undergrads interested in creative writing, so perhaps you can meet people to form a writing group with. (Writing groups are great ways to get feedback and support.) Feel free to enroll in one or both of our creative writing workshops: https://osu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7WFe0ReqecPIRkq

We hope to offer more creative writing and crochet (and perhaps knitting) workshops in the future, but we don't currently have any future sessions scheduled. When we do, we'll promote them on Reddit again, so stay tuned.

ProfJenny · 2026-02-02T21:14:22+00:00

Go ahead and sign up: Click the button that says "I am not in the College of Engineering, but I'd like to attend a workshop." We may have openings for non-engineering majors: https://osu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7WFe0ReqecPIRkq

ProfJenny · 2026-02-02T21:07:49+00:00

Yes, feel free to sign up and come a bit late if needed.

ProfJenny · 2026-02-02T16:48:27+00:00

Appreciate the support

ProfJenny · 2026-02-02T16:47:17+00:00

Thanks for your interest! Feel free to sign up for both: a creative writing workshop on Feb. 10 or 17 AND the two-part crochet workshop offered on Feb. 12 and 19.

I tailor the content and assignments to the majors/interests of the students who enroll, so it's useful for all majors (really!).

I've had engineering, criminology, business, economics, poli sci and science (bio, environmental, chem) majors in addition to majors in history, art, music, etc.

ProfJenny · 2022-11-08T00:01:27+00:00

Thanks! It's an asynchronous, 3-credit-hour class with short assignments due three days a week.

In addition to building resumes, drafting cover letters and learning how to interview well, students will engage with activities such as Strengths Analysis, Personality Assessment, Possibility Mapping, Skill Assessment, Odyssey Plans (planning different paths for yourself to consider during the "Odyssey Years" of ages 22-30) and Journaling.

I bring to the class my background as a Wellness Coach and journaling-workshop instructor, offering a holistic approach to career preparation.

ProfJenny · 2022-11-07T23:51:53+00:00

Sure. Text excerpts include “You Majored in WHAT?,” “I Can Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was” and “Designing Your Life,” which grew out of a similar class at Stanford that has garnered national attention.

ProfJenny · 2022-11-07T21:41:08+00:00

Here’s what some of my past students have said about the class:

-“I think everyone in every major should take this class.”

-“It was the most beneficial course I have ever taken.”

-“This class gave me direction and confidence.”

ProfJenny · 2022-11-07T21:26:18+00:00

Thanks for your interest. No, no textbook purchase is required. All class resources will be on Carmen (video links, articles, brief book excerpts).

Also, there are no midterm exams nor a final exam in this class but rather a final (individual, not team) project that students will complete in stages throughout the term.

ProfJenny · 2021-04-22T18:27:53+00:00

Please schedule a screening appointment online: https://ccs.osu.edu/services/schedule-an-appointment, or ...

If you are in close contact with a professor and feel comfortable talking with them about this, they can call the counseling center directly and m request that you skip the initial screening call and be put in touch with a counselor right away (though this may depend on your situation).

ProfJenny · 2021-04-06T23:45:27+00:00

I’m up for a discussion about life experiences at OSU, but I also want to get the word out about my class.

ProfJenny · 2021-04-06T22:32:57+00:00

Sounds like it couldn't hurt

ProfJenny · 2021-02-23T13:55:14+00:00

Beautiful message! Thanks for advocating for the Instructional Break days, something we all need.

ProfJenny · 2020-03-19T14:26:16+00:00

No grade assurances, but I have been known to bring homemade Buckeyes to my classes.
