About Us
With 26 full-time faculty, the department of English and Modern Languages represents a highly diverse and active group of people.
The department supports a small press, GreenTower Press, which publishes a highly lauded literary magazine, The Laurel Review. The department also helps to support Medium Weight Forks, a student-run literary magazine with an open format.
Our chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the International English Honor Society, is sponsored by the department with Ms. Brenda Ryan currently serving as the faculty coordinator. Northwest has been proud each year to send a large contingent from our chapter to show off scholarship (and win awards) at the annual Sigma Tau Delta conference.
Every year the department of English and Modern Languages brings four nationally known writers to campus in the Visiting Writers Series.
The
department sponsors HALO (the Hispanic-American Leadership Organization).
HALO originated at the University of Kansas and has been active at
Northwest for over a decade. Paco Martinez is currently the faculty
coordinator.
Finally, the department sponsors the Northwest American Sign Language Club,
which is open to any student who has an interest in American Sign Language.
Marcy Roush is the faculty coordinator for this student organization.
