Jan Hamer has taught in the English Department at Weber State since 2003, and advised the undergraduate literary and fine arts journal for seven of those years. She is a poet and essayist with a background in law and theater, and still enjoys performing in community theater around Ogden and sharing her poetry at open mics. She has completed two collections of essays and poems, and is looking for a good home for them.
As a member of the OCAAC, Jan hopes to promote the literary arts across the community, and to encourage a greater flow of creativity between the many writers at Weber State and those in the community at large.
