Literacy Autobiography Winners Announced

Winners of GSU’s Annual Literacy Autobiography Award Writing Contest were announced at a luncheon on Thursday, May 10 in the Center for Performing Arts.

The annual contest is embedded in the freshman curriculum as a required assignment. In the first semester, students are asked to reflect on how writing and reading have shaped their lives. In the spring semester, the students revise their essays, sometimes multiple times, and then are invited to submit final versions to the contest.

Entries are judged by a committee of staff and faculty appointed by the President’s and Provost’s offices. Each year the prizes are funded by Drs. Elaine and Mort Maimon.

The winners, all students in Professor Laura White’s class, are

• Madeline Lomeli – First – $200 (not pictured)
• Alexandria Pavloski – Second – $100 
• Marina Ibrahim – Third – $50
• Eunise Lukose – Honorable Mention – $25
• April Sanchez – Honorable Mention – $25
• Sydney Paul - Participation Certificate

Congrats to all winners!
