Every year, Rutgers English gives out awards for everything from writing to overall academic excellence. Many prizes have been created by Friends, to commemorate their experience here or to honor the memory of someone connected with Rutgers English. Award descriptions are available on the Department website, and we will tell the story behind a few of them with each newsletter. Congratulations to all of the winners!
