Welcome Gabriella Fee, Inaugural Writer in Residence

Discover a new chapter in Odyssey’s lifelong learning offerings—an inspiring series of creative writing courses made possible by the generous support of Elizabeth Moser. Launching in Fall 2025, the Moser Family Writer in Residence initiative brings a renewed emphasis on the literary arts through online courses, engaging lectures, and immersive, place-based experiences.

We’re thrilled to welcome Gabriella Fee, A&S ’22 (MFA), as our inaugural Moser Family Writer in Residence. Gabriella is a poet, educator, and advocate for accessible arts education, and she brings a dynamic vision for fostering creativity across generations and geographies.

“I’m so excited to bring my experiences as a writer and educator to the Odyssey community. In the coming months, look out for a fresh suite of online creative writing courses for lifelong learners…”I’ve seen how vital it is for all of us, no matter our moment in life, to cultivate curiosity, creativity, intellectual rigor, and imagination.”

—Gabriella Fee

From writing workshops and author talks to literary field trips in Baltimore and beyond, this new creative writing series invites writers of all levels to explore the power of storytelling—and to find connection both on and off the page.

About Moser Family Gift

The Moser Gift is a generous and inspiring investment in creative expression and lifelong learning at Johns Hopkins. Made possible by Elizabeth Moser, A&S ’66, this special gift supports two new initiatives that will help grow and enrich the Odyssey Program—offered through the Johns Hopkins Office of Alumni Relations—for years to come: The Moser Writer-in-Residence for Odyssey Fund and The Moser Fund for Tuition Remission.

The Moser Writer-in-Residence Fund brings fresh creative energy to the Hopkins alumni community. Each year, a celebrated writer—whether a poet, screenwriter, or author—will join us to lead a dynamic creative writing series. Think: exclusive courses, literary-themed excursions, and public readings that spark conversation and connection. It’s all about inspiring new voices and celebrating the power of storytelling.

The Moser Fund for Tuition Remission helps make Odyssey courses more accessible by offering tuition support to alumni. By lowering financial barriers, this fund invites more people to join in, explore new topics, and keep learning—whether for personal growth, creative exploration, or professional development.
