Freshman Writing Prize Recipient Announced

Elmira, NY (04/08/2020) — Each year the Freshman Writing Prize is awarded to a first-year student who has taken both courses in the Academic Writing Program sequence and has demonstrated mastery of the writing, critical thinking, and oral communications skills studied in those courses. This year's recipient is Ryan Hardy '23.

"Writing essays wasn't always a strength for me, but all that meant was I needed to work that much harder to get better and to practice," said Hardy. "This, to me, is a sign of my hard work to improve on areas I once found challenging"
