The Winners in the Barbara Hoffman English 160 Writing Award

Congratulations to the winners of the Barbara Hoffman English 160 Writing Award--this is the fifth year for the Award. The Award honors three students who have mastered the use of information including retrieval and evaluation coupled with excellent writing mechanics. For the third year in a row, Dr. Erin Sadlak's student is the first place winner.

First place winner with an award of $75. is Lisa Forcellini whose entry is entitled: "Why Child Obesity Should Not be Considered Parental Neglect." Dr. Erin Sadlak, professor, received $25.

Second place winner with an award of $50. is Deanna Grella whose entry is entitled: "Out with the Old, in with the New? Not this Time." Deanna's professor is Dr. Laurie McMillan.

The judges for the Award, Carol Tome and Annette Fisher, librarians, and Dr. Helen Bittel, English professor, were pleased that the entries were excellent this year---it made judging that much tougher but it also showcased the writing and library research abilities of the students.
