\"Faculty<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>The Macalester English Department is looking for a new Medieval Studies professor to join its faculty. Last semester, a search committee made up of current faculty and student representatives Chlo\u00eb Moore \u201824 and Alex Ang \u201822 read over one hundred applications and narrowed their choices down to the final candidates. This semester, students in the department are invited to participate in the final stages of the search process. In previous searches, the department has held in-person events with candidates, but because of the pandemic and high case rates in Minnesota, candidates are hosting Job Talks\u2014or short lectures\u2014and other events virtually.

\"Ben<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This month, the editors at The Words<\/i> are excited to showcase the work of Ben Zimet for Wordplay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBen Zimet is a junior planning to double major in Math and English. They read their poems for an audience for the first time last summer, and they\u2019re excited to continue to create and improve as a writer. Their favorite thing about writing is exploring sound, and trying to make language immediately evocative through sound.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
