Awards

John Masterson Writing Award:  At the end of each scholastic year, English majors with strong writing skills are invited to apply for the John Masterson Award.  This award includes a modest cash stipend and was established in honor of the English Department’s revered Shakespearean scholar, the late Mr. Masterson.  That student reflects superior writing and critical skills, along with the love of literature that Mr. Masterson reinforced in English majors for more than fifty years at the college.
