Professors David Roman, Danzy Senna and Mark Irwin, co-chairs of this year’s Selections Committee, recently announced the 2021 recipients of the Jimmy Gauntt Memorial Award, aka The Jimmy. The Jimmy is awarded to the top graduating seniors who have majored in English, Creative Writing or Narrative studies. Six stellar seniors received The Jimmy.
Unfortunately, once again due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were not able to have the customary dinner to celebrate the 2021 Jimmies. The dinner is widely attended by faculty members and the Gauntt-Kirby families. We hope we can resume our gathering in 2022.
We are proud to announce the 2021 recipients of The Jimmy. This is the 12th consecutive year the award has been given out and there are now 72 Jimmies sharing their wisdom, passion and enthusiasm. Congratulations to you all!
