Reads!MJC Reads is a program, developed by the Literature & Language Arts Division, designed to introduce students and faculty to new authors in several different genres. In the fall semesters, the Literature & Language Arts Division will sponser authors in fields such as poetry and creative fiction, while in the spring semester, it will sponser authors of fiction and non-fiction. Students are encouraged to get involved through campus activities and classroom discussion. Many Composition and Reading instructors adopt MJC Reads selections for their class curriculum.
