On behalf of the English Graduate Organization (EGO), we would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the University of New Hampshire’s English Graduate program. The program contains a diverse group of graduate students – literary scholars, essayists, fiction writers, poets, compositionists, and linguists – converging from all over the nation and the world. The EGO works to join together these distinct individuals into a productive and supportive academic community. Throughout the year, EGO organizes and sponsors professional and social activities such as Third Friday roundtable talks every month with faculty on issues concerning the academic profession, MFA student-readings, theory reading group, and the annual Halloween party. If you have suggestions or concerns about academic or social events or would like information on life at UNH and the graduate program, please do not hesitate to contact us.
