We've admitted (or are in the process of admitting) several wonderful writers for Fall 2024—a few are even starting in Summer—but we have room for a few more!

Applications are considered for Fall through June 30.

Our university is proposing a new name, announced at 2pm CST today: Wynbridge State University of Mississippi. We will also still be known by the brand "The W." This now goes to the Mississippi legislature to be introduced as a bill.
