English Field Day

Every fall since 1982, the English Department has hosted English Field Day, a celebration of all things English to which hundreds of area high school school students come with their sponsoring teachers. Students compete for school and individual pride in contests on grammar, mechanics, spelling, usage, crosswords, Boggle, and literary knowledge. Students also are judged in fiction and poetry writing. Almost all full-time and part-time English faculty, as well as a number of English majors, participate in the event as monitors, graders, or judges. English Field Day is usually held on the first Friday in December. For further information, contact Prof. George Greenlee, coordinator of English Field Day since its beginning.
