English majors rock! As the semester (and the year) wraps up, <\/span>The Words<\/span><\/i> staff wanted to take stock of the department communitie\u2019s many achievements. I reached out to English majors about what they were proud of this semester, whether that meant writing a capstone, scoring an internship or award, going to a conference, getting a creative or critical piece published, or something else they wanted to see acknowledged. Here are their responses:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reagan Kimzey \u201824 (she\/her) <\/b>was accepted to the Midwest Modern Language Association\u2019s conference and got to present on Shakespeare. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sydney Jones \u201823 (she\/her) <\/b>spent this semester interning at <\/span>ISG (an environmental urban planning firm), where she recently was noted as one of the key-contributors to the Mayo Clinic La Crosse Campus redevelopment plan. Specifically, she highlighted personal narratives within the surrounding neighborhoods to create a sense of community identity and share these stories with the project manager to integrate into the final plan. This was an amazing opportunity to mix both of her backgrounds in Environmental Studies and English Lit!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna \u0160verclov\u00e1 \u201823 (they\/them) <\/b>was published in Passages North and Birdcoat Quarterly. Their poetry chapbook was also a finalist for the Button Poetry chapbook contest as well as the Poetry Online chapbook contest!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Chlo\u00eb Moore \u201824 (she\/they) <\/b>presented their paper, “The Orientalist Parallelogram,” as part of the Gender, Language, and Identity panel at the undergraduate research symposium at the Midwest Modern Language Association conference. Her poem, “The Hunger,” was published by the Water~Stone Review; they read the poem at their launch party on December 2nd. Another of Chlo\u00eb\u2019s poems, “These Are The Things That Matter To Us Now,” also appears in this semester’s <\/span>Chanter<\/span><\/i> issue. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I, <\/span>Zo\u00eb Roos Scheuerman \u201824 (she\/her)<\/b>, wrote and presented my International Studies capstone, \u201cBeyond the Horizons: Postnational Frontiers in Migration Literature.\u201d One of my poems, \u201cThe Way Home,\u201d was also published in the Fall 2022 issue of <\/span>Chanter<\/span><\/i>, and I worked on a project for publication about W.E.B. Du Bois\u2019 connections to the Somali independence movement. I also found an advisor for my English honors thesis and began the first steps in the honors process! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences, and congratulations on your accomplishments!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
