Nearly 20 years ago, the seed for WWU's annual Children's Literature Conference was planted. Since then, we've hosted over 80 authors and illustrators for events at Western. And sometimes, we've been fortunate to bring those folks into schools. But not often enough!
A few years ago, Nancy Johnson retired from teaching at WWU and directing the Conference. Her dream continues to connect more children and teens, teachers and librarians, with authors and illustrators. In recognition of this vision, WWU and Nancy established an endowment dedicated to this endeavor.
A gift to the Speakers in Schools Fund will support the introduction of authors and illustrators to area schools. Interacting with their creative energy and talent—up close and personal—is transformative.
Make your gift as part of Give Day now, and Dr. Nancy Johnson will double the first $1000!
