Nicole Colwell

Adjunct Assistant Professor of Writing

Nicole Colwell is a new instructor in the College Writing program this year. She received an undergraduate degree in Political Science from Vassar College and a law degree from the University of Michigan. She was a litigator for several years at a large New York law firm, and after a brief hiatus, returned to practice as a nonprofit lawyer. More recently, Nicole satisfied a life-long passion for poetry and creative writing by pursuing an MFA at Sarah Lawrence College. She is thrilled that her decision to do so has led her to the College Writing program at Purchase.
