English Major Wins Distinction in Honors

Distinction in Honors is a forum for juniors and seniors in Honors to present work of outstanding quality to the Campus Community. Distinction in Honors projects typically develop as extensions of research projects initiated in Honors Advanced Electives. Projects are reviewed and approved by a faculty mentor, an outside reader, and an Honors Director.

On Tuesday, April 28, 2009, English major Nikki Alimonda presented her paper "Dickens as an Anti-Semitic Writer: The Construction of the 'Other' in Oliver Twist and Our Mutual Friend."

Congratulations, Nikki!
