Thinking of spending this fall in Friday Harbor on the San Juan Islands, studying literature, creative writing, and marine biology in the natural environment?  Tomorrow's info session is an opportunity to get your questions answered in a session featuring UW English professor and award-winning poet Richard Kenney, English and Friday Harbor alumnus Zack Bivins (winner of this year's Ocean 180 competition), Friday Harbor and English MFA alumna Elizabeth Cooperman, and marine scientist and Friday Harbor Labs associate director Megan Dethier.

None of these courses have prerequisites, and students of all levels, including beginners, are welcome!  Costs are all-inclusive of fall tuition (12-17 credits), room, board (three delicious meals per day, and snacks, including on weekends), and course fees.  All you will need will be your Washington state ferry fare to the islands and pocket money.
