Thursday, October 1st, comes with two opportunities for preparation and celebration. The poem-prayer was written by St. Francis and known as either the Canticle of Brother Sun or the Canticle of the Creatures, which is considered the first example of Italian literature. Quincy University’s Director of Housing Operations and Orientation, Andrea Gruger, will lead a workshop on “Poetry As Autobiography” at 1:00 PM in the Hall of Fame Room of the Health and Fitness Center. Registration for this Workshop is required. Please, contact Andrea Gruger at grugean@quincy.edu or Extension 3795 or in the Student Success Center.
