Emboldened by Rowan Community
“There are so many stories to be told about people that you know and care about and sometimes people you don’t know,” says Eric U., a student in the 4+1 B.A./M.A. in Writing Arts program. “Every person is different. So just looking around you, you can see the stories hidden behind people’s eyes, just waiting to be told. And I want to be the one to tell them.”
