Have anything going on Thursday, March 19? If you don’t, or even if you do, make sure to come to Off the Page! It’s an annual event hosted by the Writing Center that highlights different types of writing and literature in the professional world. Two or three high school interviewers sit down with guests to discuss their career and how literature is a part of their profession. This year we have two guests, spoken word artist Guante and musician (and MHS graduate) John Mark Nelson. In addition to the interviews, they will both be performing!

Here’s a little bit of what each artist does as a sort of preview.
