Hey there Fusefolk! I’m Max Schmetterer, your 2009-2010 president. I just wanted to introduce myself to those who don’t know me. I’ll be a fourth year next year, English major and CSCL minor. We have three other officers on board for next year:
Sam Derleth, PR and communications
Jessica Orton, event coordinator
Austin Moore, meeting manager
What is FUSE? The Fellowship of Undergraduate students is a student group that serves as an informal meeting place and refuge for all English majors, minors, and prospective students. It’s a club for anybody who’s ever been asked, “what the heck are you going to do with a B.A. in English?” It’s a club for anyone with an uncle who doesn’t understand why you “spend all your time reading poems.” It’s a club for the Milton obsessed, the Brontë crazed, and the Vonnegut starved. It’s for the freshman who doesn’t know which classes to take, and the senior working on job applications. It’s okay to be a literary dork at FUSE. In fact—we welcome it.
Membership equals showing up, and we welcome in new attendees anytime during the year. FUSE will also sponsor events like movie nights and coffee hours, so watch out for announcements throughout the year.
If you’d like to get on the email list for FUSE, send an email to mnfuse@gmail.com
This blog serves as both an announcement place for the club and a supplement for all things English majory. You may see book reviews, articles from the literary world, or announcements about local events in the twin cities. Make sure to check back in the summer— we’re hoping to schedule a few events in July and August.
Good luck with finals everybody,
Max Schmetterer
