I would love it if people wrote good textbooks using this space. In Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, and Medical Biology. Great textbooks have enhanced my conceptual understanding. I would love to see better textbooks for computer-based classes.

What an amazing gift!! I am an aspiring published writer, one day. Currently I am just a writer of my life and experiences. Collecting, what I hope to be, my great work(s) of art, along my journey. And hopefully inspiring/great enough one day, to share with the world, my un-told stories and adventures. That I can live out my dream of one day becoming a published writer, alongside, a natural healer/doctor sharing my knowledge and stories. Either about those I’ve helped along the way, or inspiration to those who need help and found it through my journey and/or writing. I am very new to the writing world and learning all the time. But what is a writing residency? It sounds like a great writing experience, whatever it may be. Also, how can I apply for a writing residency? What are the requirements of one?
Sincerely,
Native Portlander writer, hoping to make my dreams come true, one day, and learning all I can until I do, Maueve Breena, a.k.a. Lynn Marie James Krasowski ???
P.S. Rest in Peace Carolyn Moore. Hopefully we all can make you proud with your amazing gift you left us!!!

Hi Willa,

Yes, when the programming and application materials have been developed, you’d be welcome to apply for a residency! Stay tuned for more info.

What a gift the Carolyn Moore house is to the community! I knew Carolyn, and am also a poet who received the Oregon Book Award a few years ago. Can one apply for a residency?

What a wonderful gift, and so deeply appreciated.
I am a 34 year veteran independent building inspector who has worked all over the country and internationally including Portland.I have evaluated real estate for the University Of Chicago, the US Attorney, the City 0f Chicago and here in Portland. I would like to volunteeer my time and services in evaluating what appears to be a wonderful learning environment and space. Let’s get a sound look at this place to project out a 10 year replacement budget for repairs, maintenance and replacement costs. I am currently a Pcc student. Consider turning the inspection into a productive writing event? Tom Corbett, North Portland.

This is exciting news. I hope that there will be opportunities for faculty to be able to do professional development writing workshops as well.

I just heard about this on the radio. It sounds like a terrific idea and I would be interested to know if a virtual tour of the premises was somehow available.
