Our heartfelt congratulations to Frankie Romano, who is the recipient of this year's Nancy Comley Prize for her brilliant essay "The Matter of the Text: Queerness, Identity, and Proximity in Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home"!

The faculty judges for the award had a really difficult time choosing a winner this year, because of the high caliber of all the submissions. We're all so proud of the work everyone is doing in the program.

You're all invited to join us in celebrating Frankie's accomplishments, as well as those of all the undergrad and grad award winners, at our annual Writing Prizes Ceremony on Monday, May 2nd, at 3pm, in the Godwin-Ternbach Museum. Reception to follow.

Congrats again, Frankie!

Best,
Caroline
