Tracie Prater, Andy's Advanced Compositon Student, Wins Award!

At the annual Department of English and Theatre Writing Awards Banquet tonight, Tracie Prater won first place for her essay, "So You Wanna Blog?" in the Undergraduate Advanced Composition category. In Andy's fall semester ENG 301: Advanced Composition class (one of a dozen or so), Tracie--a physics major!--proved herself again and again to be an outstanding student, in a class by herself. As an upper-level writing course, ENG 301 was conducted entirely online, and so you can imagine how wonderful it was for Andy to met Tracie in person for the first time tonight. Tracie's writing sparkles with witful energy; she writes with a well-honed discipline to produce well researched essays, full of perceptive observations, always accurately documented, always gracefully written. What a writer! Here she is, between Andy and the President of the University, Dr. Joanne Glasser. Congratulations, Tracie!
