RC creative writing student Zofia Ferki is one of two winners of the Matt Kelley/Granader Family Award for Excellence in First Year Writing, awarded by the Sweetland Center for Writing and the English Department Writing Program.

Zofia will receive $1,000 and her paper will appear in the forthcoming volume collecting winning documents from this and other Sweetland/English writing prizes this year. Previous volumes are viewable at the Sweetland website, and paper copies can be purchased at Amazon.
