The Planning Committee
- What is "the hub"? From its founding in 1995-96, The Kelly
Writers
House has been run more or less collaboratively by members of its
community.

The original team of intrepid founders--a gathering of students, faculty,
staff and Penn alumni who wanted to create an independent haven for
writers
and supporters of contemporary writing--took for itself the name "the
hub."
"Hub" was the generic term given by the provost, president and other
planners who hoped that something very innovative would be done at 3805
Locust to prove the viability of the idea that students, working with
others, could create a
learning
community
around common intellectual
passions. To this day the planning committee refers to itself as "the
hub."
- Planning Committee Meetings are open to any member of the
University
community: students, staff, faculty. At these meetings we discuss House
business, upcoming events, work by proposed visiting writers, and even
poems or other pieces of writing. The
meetings give us a chance to get to know one another and to focus our
energy and enthusiasm for the house. All planning committee dates are
listed
on our online
calendar,
as well as the paper calendars which are available at Writers
House or by contacting us. To receive a calendar or to join the planning
committee, please email us.
