The Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop has come home — and we're thrilled about the new digs. Now housed within the University of Dayton’s English department, the workshop couldn’t be in a more fitting place. It was here that Erma Bombeck '49 first heard the words that changed her life, “You can write!”
