To enhance its strong program in creative writing, the Department of English established the Olive B. O'Connor Fellowship in Creative Writing. Designed to support a writer completing his or her first book, the annual fellowship provides a generous stipend, office space, and an intellectual community for the recipient, who spends the academic year at Colgate. In return, the fellow teaches a creative-writing workshop each semester and gives a public reading of his or her work.
