We are delighted to announce that we at the Kelly Writers House have a new Assistant Director for Development. On July 1, Arielle Brousse is making her return to the Writers House after several years of superb work on the staff of the development department at The Franklin Institute here in Philadelphia. Having been a work-study student at the Writers House for four years as an undergraduate, and an active member of the “hub” (our Planning Committee) Arielle is “thrilled to bring my experience back home.” At The Franklin Institute, Arielle worked on everything from non-preferred State appropriations and competitive federal government grants to designing punchy flyers, writing custom-tailored proposals, and helping to plan cultivation events. The switch from working at a science museum to working once again for a literary arts center might require a bit of re-adjustment, but she is confident she'll be able to handle it: if anyone in the hub ever needs a Spock costume or a Galilean thermometer, she's got you covered.

did you miss Nick?
Did you miss public radio's Nick Spitzer at KWH this past Saturday? Not to worry. The video recording is already available: here. A bio and more links can be found as usual on our web calendar. It was Alumni Day and we were delighted by a large happy audience--some alumni, some non-Penn-affiliated Philadelphians. And Nick was generous and kind, and wowed us with a great selection of New Orleans music.
