McDowell Award Winners Present Works
Last evening the 2012 McDowell Award winners read their written works at a public presentation in the Campbell Center theater.
“It’s so wonderful to hear students read their own work,” says McDowell program coordinator Sujin Seo. “It’s also great for students to have a real audience to experience reactions to the essay or poem they’ve poured their heart into. To get that immediate feedback is really special.”
