M.F.A. in Nonfiction Information Session

Last semester we redesigned Goucher's M.F.A. program to be more flexible, affordable, and useful to writers who want to tell true stories. Join director Leslie Rubinkowski plus program faculty and alumni as they talk about new courses and the possibilities an M.F.A. offers creatives and professionals.

Leslie Rubinkowski is the director of the M.F.A. in Nonfiction and the author of Impersonating Elvis. A journalist, essayist, and film critic, her work has appeared in a number of publications, including Harper's, River Teeth, and Creative Nonfiction. She has also taught journalism and creative nonfiction at the University of Pittsburgh, directed of the newswriting program at West Virginia University's School of Journalism, and has been a guest lecturer at The Poynter Institute and the Chautauqua Institution, among many other places. Her current book project is a hybrid: part memoir, part history of Pittsburgh.
