In April, I will again honor a writer with the UW-Whitewater Chancellor’s Regional Literary Award. The first award was given to C.J. Hribal, the author of “The Company Car.’ We had a delightful evening with C.J. and I was so pleased to give him this honor.
The nomination committee has received a number of excellent suggestions for the 2007 honor. The committee, made up of faculty, staff and students, will be meeting soon to discuss those nominations and make a recommendation to me for the final selection. We hope to make an announcement by mid-September, at the latest. I hope that faculty will incorporate the selection into their courses and that people all over campus will join us in reading the selection. Then, in spring we will again hold an author reading on campus.
I am thrilled that this idea is taking hold. Stay tuned for the announcement
