City Tech’s 40th Annual Literary Arts Festival, Featuring Poet Staceyann Chin and City Tech Students


Event Details

  • Date:

Join City Tech, CUNY for an evening devoted to community, reflection, and restoration. Since Spring 2020, we have been disconnected from our campuses and each other. This event allows us to reconvene, to speak and to listen, to celebrate creative expression and share experiences from an extraordinarily difficult time. The program will feature a performance by poet Staceyann Chin, in addition to student stories, across medium and genre, from this era: stories of frontline essential and healthcare workers; stories of loss, hardship, and resilience, all enacted while pursuing a college degree in the midst of a pandemic. Hosts and Organizers: Caroline Chamberlin Hellman, Professor of English; Ngozi Okonkwo, Student Government Association President. Co-sponsored by TLH, the City Tech Student Government Association, and Student Life.
