WISH-TV: UIndy offers $10 course to explore Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’

The University of Indianapolis is opening its annual Communiversity course to community members this fall, offering a $10 virtual book-club-style opportunity to read and discuss Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel “Dracula” alongside UIndy students. WISH-TV featured University of Indianapolis English professor Dr. Jennifer Camden, who explained how the course makes classic literature more accessible through weekly readings, online discussion and free public lectures and performances on campus. Camden noted that “Dracula” remains relevant for modern readers through themes of infection, fear and collective response, while also giving participants a chance to encounter the original version of a character often softened by pop culture. The coverage highlights how University of Indianapolis expertise in literature, lifelong learning and community engagement helps connect students and the public through shared exploration of classic texts.
