Celebrating National Day on Writing

Come celebrate all things writing with the CLC Writing Center!

The National Day on Writing was created by the National Council of Teachers of English “to draw attention to the remarkable variety of writing Americans engage in and to help make writers from all walks of life aware of their craft” (NCTE Website).

The official day for the National Day on Writing is always October 20th and on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, we will be celebrating “all things writing” on the Grayslake Campus.
