Tiniest Coffee Shop Has Ups and Downs

Back for the fourth year in a row, the staff of Canvas, MWSU's creative writing and arts journal, hosted a tiniest coffee shop on MWSU's campus on Sept. 27-28. The scenery was a bit different this year; because of problems with Murphy Hall's A/C, Canvas moved the outreach event to Popplewell Hall's elevator, which is tinier even than Murphy's elevator! Nevertheless, the event was successful--Canvas staff like Megan Standley and Megan Maenner (pictured) got practice reading poems aloud to students and promoting the publication, and non-English majors like Danny Garcia-Cortez (pictured) learned more about the publication and how to submit. Also, the hot Dunkin' Donuts coffee was a big hit. Canvas thanks MWSU students, faculty and staff for their support--and especially the janitors who shared the elevator (and heard some great writing) for three days.
