Live Ideas Spring 2026 Institute
March 31, April 2, April 6-7 @ 6:00-7:30pm via Zoom
The Live Ideas Journal will hold a Spring institute on March 31st, April 2, April 6th, and April 7th from 6:00-7:30 pm via Zoom. All written pieces are welcome- fiction, nonfiction, poems, essays, etc. The purpose of these institutes is to help undergraduate students perfect their pieces alongside their scholarly and artistic peers. A $250 scholarship will be awarded to those who attend all sessions of the institute. The institute will begin on Tuesday, March 31st, and resume on Thursday, April 2nd. From there, we will break for the weekend to give students ample time to work on revising their pieces. We will meet back on Monday, April 6th, and conclude the institute on Tuesday, April 7th. The deadline to apply for the institute is Thursday, March 26th at 11:59PM. The institute will be held virtually via Zoom. You will receive a confirmation email with additional details if your application is accepted. Questions? Ask Dr. Laurie Johnson (lauriej@ksu.edu).
