English Majors: We’re Not Just Grammar Nerds

A few months ago, I threatened you all with a good time—and now I’m making good on the promise.

Grab your pom-poms and make your best “Go, Judi!” sign—I’ve got some news!

I’m excited to share that I’ll be speaking on a panel at UMass Boston called "Beyond the English Major: Conversations with Alums." I’d love for you to save the date!

Oh, and you know, show up. 

📅 Date: April 9, 2025
⏰ Time: 5:00 PM ET
📍 Location: UMass Boston Campus Center 3545 & Zoom

We have a fantastic lineup of UMB English majors who have taken their degrees in all directions—law, teaching, even international music agent. And, of course, there’s me, who has held nearly every job except mercenary (though some writing gigs have come close).

If you’ve ever wondered how to turn an English degree into a dynamic career, this is the conversation for you. The above graphic has all the details. I hope to see you there—whether in person or online!
