Recent majors have received honorific graduate fellowships at Cornell, Syracuse, Michigan, Arizona, and Washington Universities, among others. Graduates from the mid-nineties Mary Leader and Ross Martin have published award-winning books of poetry, Ha Jin has earned a national Book Award, and Mytili Jagannathan has been awarded a $50,000 Pew Fellowship in the Arts for her poetry. Several more are teaching Creative Writing in schools such as Tufts, Rhode Island School of Design, The New School, and Bentley College.

Our strength is the rigorous passion of our students to hone, explore, challenge and pursue their art, and the excellence of our faculty, both in their literary endeavors and their commitment to teaching.
