Triskaidekaphobics (those who fear the number 13) beware!
Trine University will host its 13th annual Poe Night on Thursday, Oct. 26.
The historically unlucky number will align with a celebration of the Master of the
Macabre beginning at 7 bells (7 p.m.) in Wells Theatre, located inside Taylor Hall
on Trine’s Angola campus.
Members of the community, Prof. Lou Ann Homan’s speech class and Trine University’s
Drama Club will perform famous stories and poetry by Edgar Allan Poe. Tom Adamson
will also perform on the violin.
The event will last about an hour.
Poe Night is free and open to the public, but those who wish to attend should not
test their luck, as seating is strictly limited to 75.
Anyone interested in participating can contact Homan for more information at homanl@trine.edu.
Isabel Soto, instructor, and her Spanish students have created an ofrenda (decorated altar) honoring Ana Boman, who taught Spanish in Trine University’s Department of Humanities and Communication for 16 years before she passed away last year.
Trine University has launched Dual Advantage, a new program that gives undergraduate students multiple pathways to earn both a bachelor’s degree and an advanced degree in less time than completing both degrees separately.
