This year’s guest author, Bret Anthony Johnston, will join an on-stage conversation Friday, April 4 from 10:30–11:30 a.m. in Elizabeth Hall Room 229.

多年前，约翰斯顿还是一名本科生，曾在纽科大学发表演讲。 Now, he’s an award-winning author who wrote the critically acclaimed national bestseller 我们燃烧日光. His work has also appeared in magazines like 《纽约客》 and 美国最好的短篇小说.

“Not only does he have ties to the conference, but he’s making a significant impact in the literary world,” said Laura Stott, NULC co-director. “This shows students that, 20 years down the line, they could be on the other side of it too.”

被接受的学生可以在3月25日之前注册。 Information on qualifications, registration and presentation schedules can be found on the NULC网站.

NULC的创始人Mikel Vause是华盛顿州立大学的退休英语教授，他在1985年创建了这个会议，为本科生提供他在大学期间演讲的机会。 It has become the nation’s longest-running under新葡京app literary conference. 今年是第一次有来自海外的学生参加。

“新葡京app State is home to something so unique that isn’t available at many other institutions,” Stott said. “A huge part of what makes it so special is the community it fosters.”

Elizabeth Melendez, a WSU student presenting at the conference this year, said she’s excited for the event: “This is an amazing opportunity to shape the culture and society we interact with by sharing our research and creative works. It genuinely feels like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” she said.

学生会议和对约翰斯顿的舞台采访都是免费向公众开放的。
