SMC MFA Virtual Information Session #3: An Evening with Ingrid Rojas Contreras (Fiction)

Featuring Saint Mary's MFA in Creative Writing

You're invited to join Saint Mary's MFA in Creative Writing core faculty member Ingrid Rojas Contreras for an evening discussion revolving around fiction as a genre, pursuing an MFA degree, and finding a fulfilling career in writing. All prospective students and current applicants interested in fiction or interdisciplinary writing are strongly encouraged to attend.

Saint Mary's Virtual Information Sessions are designed to give prospective students the opportunity to connect directly with our faculty, staff, and students in a smaller environment. While we'll often speak specifically to the program here at SMC, we hope that this session will be informative and beneficial for anyone who's looking to pursue an MFA in Creative Writing.

Our Assistant Director of Admissions will also be on hand to answer any questions about the application process. Our priority application deadline is Friday, December 20th, 2024 and you can check out our Admissions page for more details.
