Writing Contest Winners Honored

Fri., Apr 27

The Writing Across the Curriculum Committee (WACC) is pleased to announce the winners of the 2012 Writing Across the Curriculum Writing Contest. Established a few years ago as a way to recognize the writing achievements of SCSU students, this annual contest has been renamed in memory of Dr. Nancy Marano, Professor of Education, who passed away in July 2011. Dr. Marano had a strong commitment to the WACC as well as a dedication to assist students in developing strong writing skills. This year, contest winners were announced and recognized during the April 26 UCF meeting. Dr. Marano's husband John and her son-in-law Scott Wells were in attendance.

This year's winners are: 

First Place: Daniel Spice
Second Place: Jonathan Uhl
Tied for Third Place: Michael Lake and Ben James
Honorable Mentions: Alyssa Paolella and Christine Katrenya
