During the last week of classes, the English department at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee holds an awards ceremony recognizing undergraduate students, graduate students, staff, and faculty for their writing and teaching.
This year I am honored to receive the Frederick J. Hoffman Award for my essay on Angela Carter’s short story “The Company of Wolves,” which I wrote in Professor José Lanter’s Magical Realism & Fabulism literature course in the Fall 2016 semester. As a creative writer, I’m thankful to have the opportunity to study with UWM’s wonderful literature faculty. I’m very grateful to receive this award and the support of the academic community at UWM; both mean a great deal to me as I finish my coursework and head into facing my preliminary exam.
