Writing program BFA graduate Cody Klippenstein has always loved stories and storytelling. As a child, her curious and creative nature would often get her into trouble. 鈥淚 can鈥檛
remember a time when I wasn鈥檛 inventing things, even when I probably shouldn't have been,鈥 she jokes. And when she enrolled in UVic鈥檚 creative writing program, she asked herself the same

to complete a writing degree.
