Warning: today is faculty reading day, which means the professors have their books and microphones out. If you're feeling adventurous, come join us for a day of literary mayhem and free snacks. #FacultyReading #LiteraryMayhem #FreeSnacks

[OSU Cascades MFA @mfa_osu]

It's like a regular reading, but with more tweed and elbow patches. We promise you'll leave feeling both entertained and smarter. Plus, there will be free snacks. #LitAF #TweedGameStrong #FreeSnacks

[OSU Cascades MFA @mfa_osu]

Don't miss out on the fun! Follow us on Insta for exciting events featuring our brilliant students and faculty. We promise not to post too many mountain photos (okay, maybe just a few). #CreativityOverload #PeakPerformance @OSUcascades
