Annual Fall Bonfires
Each fall, PWR gather for our annual bonfire at Professor Taylor’s house. Favorite activities include “Murder in the Dark,” a murder mystery game, as well as, enjoying snacks, playing board games, and playing Mafia.
Fall 2022
We enjoyed a cool night and a warm fire in our November bonfire at Prof. Taylor’s house. New faces, fun games, welcoming freshmen and Professional Writing minors to join the fun.
Fall 2021
There really is never a dull moment at the ProWrite bonfires!



Fall 2020
Yes, it was the pandemic year, and yes we slathered on the antibiotic lotion and served the food with rubber gloves. But that didn’t stop us from sitting outside (masked) by the fire and, later, a few stragglers playing high-stakes Clue at Prof Taylor’s dining room table.

Fall 2018 and 2019
We had a record turnout for these two years of fall bonfires at Professor Taylor’s house. Her pets received an extra dose of love, and our mafia game reached a new level of intensity with two teams of mafia working against each other. And yes, we did spend some time outside by the bonfire!



Fall 2017
A new house for Professor Taylor, but still a fun refuge for the PWR’s.

PWR Scavenger Hunts
Teams grapple to complete an imaginative series of clues and writing challenges laid out around campus.
PWR dinners
Some nights you just need to gather around a table and argue about whether story structure is properly a thing or not (arguing not required).
Pee Wee PWR
An evening to set aside all portentousness and to share aloud some of the most awful works ever written … by our elementary-school selves.
PWR
more than a major.
And if you think our departmental PWR culture is neat, just wait until you experience Taylor University’s Airband, Silent Night or Taylathon. Curious about the culture of the broader Taylor University campus? Click here.
