The Writing Program will include a Toni Morrison Writer-in-Residence. Appointed annually, a different writer each year will have a one-year visiting appointment at PVAMU, where that individual will offer a seminar in writing. The Toni Morrison Writer-in-Residence will also hold public readings of the writer’s work and that of other writers to bring visibility to the importance of writing and the legacy of African American writers, especially those educated at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Morrison was a graduate of Howard University, an HBCU in Washington, D.C.
Emma Joahanne Thomas-Smith, Ed.D., PVAMU provost emerita, will oversee the Toni Morrison Writing Program at PVAMU. With decades of experience in higher education, Thomas-Smith previously led the University’s Honors Program and its Department of English and Languages.
