All writing is creative, including the writing you do for school, internet posts to social media, and text/email messages. Where there was a blank pageâvirtual or otherwiseâand you fill it with your words, you have, in fact, drawn on your intellectual resources to create patterns of meaning with those words.
âCreative writing,â however, generally refers to poetry, fiction, drama, and some forms of non-fictionâmemoirs and narratives that use the techniques of story-telling.
We will focus on understanding how form and meaning work together and on understanding the types and complexities of each genreânotably, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, drama, and cross-genresâso each student can begin to develop their unique, individual voice.

Realizing the value of the research experience at the undergraduate level, this project is committed to fostering research opportunities for City Tech students. Faculty and students can use this project as a place to share announcements about research opportunities, as well as a place to offer information about the experiences students and faculty have had in their research endeavors. A handbook on effective mentoring, developed by the Undergraduate Research Committee, is currently available for download.
