Writers-in-Residence

The UMass Lowell Jack Kerouac Writer-in-Residence Program hosts an author as a guest in the University community to write, teach, and offer a public reading, usually during the spring semester. The Program is hosted by the English Department, and funded in part by John Sampas, Executor of the Kerouac Literary Estate, and the Provost's Office.

Gigi Thibodeau is the 2009 Jack Kerouac Writer-in-Residence.
