Department of Language & Literature

Overview

The L&L department boasts a 100% placement rate for alumni who apply to graduate schools. OC students have many opportunities to practice their craft. Soundings, an outlet for original works by OC students, alumni, faculty and staff, won Best Literary Journal in the nation in 2008 and was the runnerup in 2009. Students submit work in regional and national contests through OC’s chapter of the International English Honor Society, and serve as tutors through OC’s writing center and the Community Literacy Program.

Each year, OC brings nationally-known writers to campus. Past guests have included Pulitzer Prize winner Marilynne Robinson, U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky, Bill McKibben, and Kathleen Norris.
