Clarissa Fidler Named HASS English Student of the Year

Look everyone...I'm kinda cool! I was selected as the English Department Student of the Year. I was completely surprised when I got the email and actually a little confused. I asked Susan Anderson, one of my writing center bosses and a lecturer in the English Department, what the email meant and she got all excited and started shouting, "Clarissa!! You're the department student of the year!! Star and I nominated you! CONGRATULATIONS". It was a fun moment. I feel very undeserving and like I am not cool enough to get the award, but I am very grateful. It is a wonderful honor and recognition for all of the hard work I have done throughout my college career.

Here is the write-up that appeared on the English website:
