Ashley McCauliff and Dayton Shafer, two seniors in the B.F.A. Creative Writing program, have been awarded a two-week fellowship in the Vermont Studio Center, which they will begin at the end of the semester.

This fellowship, which is offered only at Johnson State College and is highly sought after, is offered yearly to two senior students from the Creative Writing program and includes free housing and meals during their stay. The idea, as Assistant Professor of Writing and Literature Jacob White sees it, is to provide the two students a period of time where they can solely focus on their writing as he believes writing requires a level of “habit and rhythm and repetition” to excel. . . .
