The Kelly Writers House is 25 years old and we want to celebrate with you. We hope you’ll join us for big celebration of our history and community during Penn’s Homecoming Weekend (October 21 and 22). We’ll have a party, an open house, and some talks and toasts. We’d love to see you for all of it. 

Can you come? Email rsvp@writing.upenn.edu to let us know which event or events you’re likely to attend. See you in October.
