The Eichner Women Writers Series launched in 2017 in honor of Sister Maura Eichner, SSND, a professor in the English Department who built a legacy during her 50 years at Notre Dame. Eichner was nationally recognized for her poetry and had strong connections with her contemporaries in the writing community.
Visiting Writers
Since its inception in 2017, the NDMU Eichner Women Writer Series has welcomed to campus some of the world's most famous and beloved writers:
In this time, the annual Eichner Women Writer series brings Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and US Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith to campus to interact with students in class and provide an evening lecture.

In addition to the yearly writer presentation, the English Department welcomes NDMU alumnae writers to our campus to show our students the value of the literary arts. The Eichner 4 Under 40 Writers demonstrates the ability of young writers to make an impact.
