The Creative Writing group, led by Dr. Miriam Dreisinger, has meant so much to our group. Miriam gave us gentle direction and discreetly allowed us the latitude to express ourselves in a way that had special meaning to each of us.

Professor Dreisinger was well prepared for each class, providing structure and openness at the same time. We are very eager to continue this program.
