RC Creative Writing alumna Logan Corey (’13) was promoted last July to Director of RC Admissions, replacing Lana Kanitz, who retired. Among other things, Logan has been visiting Metro Detroit high schools and refining RC information pieces to broaden the RC’s presence to prospective U-M students.
The RC continues to admit approximately 260 new students each year. All are LSA “admits” who expressed interest in the RC. New students start in the Fall semester and must live in East Quad for their first two years. The RC also admits a few transfer students (with 40 credits or less); these usually have a one-year residency requirement.
From South Haven, Logan heard about the RC while in high school, liking the small-college environment within a much larger university. She planned to major in Drama, perhaps with a focus on Shakespeare, but began to segue toward Creative Writing after a poetry class and then tutorials with Ken Mikolowski. Logan worked as an ESL tutor after graduation; she did peer, Sweetland, and other tutoring while in school at the RC.
Logan continues to write, mostly poetry but also fiction and creative non-fiction. Several of her poems (from RC Review and from her senior thesis) will be reprinted in the new RC Alumni Journal, due out in October.
