2008 Scholarships Announced!
We are pleased to announce the recipients of the three named scholarships for the 2008 session, New Voices. We look forward to seeing all the winners in January.
Of course, awards are always somewhat arbitrary and ultimately just a matter of taste, and the selection process this year was especially difficult-there were many, many excellent candidates. And lest it seem like damning with faint praise to mention the runner-ups, they will be invited to read at the Seminar!

Winner: Â Mehdi Okasi
Runner-Up: Â Nami Mun
Marianne Russo Scholarship
Winner: Â Kristen-Paige Madonia
Runner-Up: Â Katherine Schaefer
Scotti Merrill Memorial Scholarship
Winner: Â Nancy Pearson
Runner-Up: Â Jacqueline LaMon
