Discounted Registration for Ohio College Students and Faculty!
The Antioch Writers' Workshop is an opportunity for beginning, intermediate, and advanced writers to become engaged with a new network of writers and a new level of their own creativity. At the Antioch Writers' Workshop, we understand the financial burden of being a college student, which is why we are happy to share this discounted opportunity for Ohio college students and faculty to take part in the 2011 Antioch Writers' Workshop.
For the traditional full-week experience--including an entire week of seminars, workshops, and complimentary breakfasts--Ohio college students and faculty receive a discount of up to $160. The cost of full-week registration includes the following:
· $125 non-refundable registration fee
· $450 for Ohio college students and faculty
That's $100 less than local rate and $160 less than the fee for participants outside of the local area!
Credit for attending the full-week workshop as part of Antioch University Midwest's COM 470/670 summer course may also be transferable to your institution (see flyer). Ohio college students and faculty may also elect to participate in only the Saturday seminar ($124), or the morning only or afternoon only options ($325).
