Kelly Writers House | 3805 Locust Walk 
RSVP: email wh@writing.upenn.edu; spots are limited

Welcome yourself and others back to Penn by sharing your origin story and journey! Superheroes have origin stories, and so do you. In this three-hour workshop, we will explore our origin stories and answer the question "how did you get here" literally and figuratively, and share our journeys via zines. Participants will make one-sheet minizines and have the opportunity to participate in a collaborative zine.

RSVP: email wh@writing.upenn.edu; spots are limited

Masks welcome. Please stay home if you feel ill.
