THE SCHOLARLY WRITING PRIZE

The Scholarly Writing in English Prizes:  These prizes, first awarded in 2000, were made possible by a generous founding donation by Professor Margaret Thickstun of Hamilton College in New York.  (The prizes have since be supplemented by other donations.  If you'd like to donate something, please contact Department Chair Susanne Weil.)  Professor Thickstun was the outside reviewer in the English Department self study that led to the creation of our new major, and she felt so strongly about wanting to help us establish a scholarly writing prize that she donated a substantial portion of her fees to make it possible.  The Scholarly Writing Prizes honor the best writing about literature by our current students.  If you write a paper you're particularly proud of this semester, save it and consider making a submission!
