The Gathering 2009:
Many students come to The Gathering. The casual and intimate atmosphere encourages them to approach guest authors and faculty for conversations over meals, between events, and during breaks. Their feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and many plan to return.
Student comments about The Gathering 2009:
"When books from the reading list arrived at the high school, it was a 'sacred moment.'"
“We sometimes look at (Northeastern Pennsylvania) as uncultured. But look at this Gathering! One sees life and art and culture and people who love such things.”
"The Gathering has fed my soul in a way that hasn’t been satisfied in a very long time.”
“The conference has re-energized me to start writing again. . . . It has exposed me to different authors and world views and increased my thoughtfulness.”
“As a teacher of young children, the ideas and views shared here arm me to justify elements of developing readers besides looking at the test scores.”
