Location: 2nd Floor, English Counseling Services Building
Object: Whiteboard (November 2026)
Observations: 1) Since 2023, the whiteboard on the 2nd floor of ECS has continued to pose questions, ask for opinions, and prompt stories. 2) After asking us to build a Halloween (or spooky season) playlist in October, this November brings a new prompt: “Who is your literary muse?” 3) So far, we have authors from the 19th century (Kate Chopin, Oscar Wilde) to the 21st century (Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Jordan Ifueko), from the classical (the eldest Greek muse and patron of epic poetry Calliope) to the comic (Garfield), a call to “Be your own muse,” and more. 4) Add your literary muse when you’re next on the 2nd floor of ECS!
