EGSA Conference | Bryn Chancellor Grad Prof of the Year

Congratulations to Bryn Chancellor for having been selected as the “EGSA Professor of the Year.” A well-deserved honor from a remarkable group of Graduate Students. This year’s conference, “Frontiers,” organized by Sarah Whichello, Ashley Wilson, Meenakshi Sathish, Abby Cotton, Holly Buescher, Justina Vasquez, and Anthony Mungo, was a wonderful event. Over forty outstanding papers presented by students from a wide array of universities demonstrated the intellectual energy of all graduate students in literature, linguistics, and literary criticism, not least of which were those delivered by rising scholars at UNC Charlotte. The organizing committee also invited Ashley M. Jones as Keynote Speaker. Jones, the Poet Laureate of Alabama, read from her work and engaged conference attendees in a fascinating Q&A exchange. Congratulations, again, both to our Graduate Students and the inspirational Professor Chancellor. Kudos as well to Lara Vetter, Director of Graduate Studies, for her devotion to the students, the conference, and the graduate program.
