Dr. Ward's Students Win Creative Writing Awards

UAA students Chad W. Keen and Janelle LaPlante are the short story winners of the 2015 College Language Association (CLA) Margaret Walker Alexander Creative Writing Contest. Keen received a $500 prize for his first-place-winning short story submission, “Family Curse,” and LaPlante received an honorable mention and a $75 prize for her short story “The Name Tag.” Both students were sponsored by Jervette R. Ward, Ph.D., who is a lifetime member of CLA. The contest is only open to students attending colleges and universities where a CLA member is a member of the faculty.
