FrankenWeek: 200th Anniversary Celbrating the writing of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein


FrankenWeek is finally upon us. School across the country will be celebrating the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein staring October 24 until October 31! We're excited to announce GSC's participation in this worldwide celebration.

We're looking forward to everyone's participation. Activities will be held on October 30 and 31. The 1881 version of Frankenstein will be read in the library as well as the movie showing of Young Frankenstein in the Student Center Auditorium. There will also be a discussion led by professor David Janssen after the first day of reading on October 30.

We're asking students, faculty, and staff to read a section of this classic story. You may sign up online or go to the library's website to access the sign-up sheet. Feel free to sign-up for more than one section to read. Anyone who wants to take a break and hear the story being read is also invited to participate. So please stop by according to your schedule.
