Open Mic Nights

Photo collage of students reading at a Loch Norse open mic event.

Our monthly open mic nights are much anticipated. We always have a fantastic featured reader to open the event and then the mic is open to anyone who wants to participate. It's a chance to share your work, hear what peers have been working on, and make connections with faculty and fellow students in the English program. Anyone is welcome! You don't need to be an English major to participate. It's a very relaxed and encouraging environment, and it's a great way to ease into sharing your work publicly; a rite of passage for any writer. Please join us!
