Concord Festival of Authors Events at UMass Lowell
The Concord Festival of Authors programs are held in several venues in Concord, a town that revels in its historic and literary heritage, and in Lowell, a city whose history and diversity are the source of its vitality. The mission of the Foundation is to promote books and authors, to present the work of contemporary authors to the public, and to provide forums for authors to discuss their work. Visit The Concord Festival of Authors website for more information about events to be held in and around Lowell.
Be on the look out for posters around campus and emails on the Department listserve advertising these events.
Please check in with your advisor if you need assistance with choosing fall 2011 classes.
