Jess Walter lecture

Lede: In the current economy, fine arts graduate degrees need to become more versatile to accommodate film and screen writing, author Jess Walter said Thursday evening during his lecture in the Communication Addition.

Quote 1: “In my mind, that [screen writing] should be taught right alongside how to write poetry or short stories,” Walter said.

Nut Graf: Walter, a former journalist and National Book Award author, spoke to an auditorium of students and faculty about his experiences in the creative writing and journalism fields.

Quote 2: “It’s never been a good industry. I guess that was the most important thing I got from it.” –Senior English major Evan Reyes commenting on Jess Walter’s lecture.
