The Eudora Welty Writers' Symposium is held each October in honor of The W's most famous alumna. A diverse group of Southern writers and scholars are invited to present their work. A highlight of the symposium is the announcement of the Eudora Welty Prize for an unpublished book of scholarship.

All Symposium events will be held October 27-29, 2022 on the MUW campus and are free and open to the public. The Symposium will also be live-streamed on Facebook at our Welty Symposium Group.

The Welty Series is made possible through the generous support of the Robert M. Hearin Support Foundation.
