Senior Spotlight and Dept. Honors: Kellie Pleshinger

Senior Spotlight and Department Honors: Kellie Pleshinger

The department wishes its graduating seniors the best as they apply for jobs and begin the exciting transition to the next chapter of their lives! This post is the fourth and final installment in a series to spotlight these seniors, who generously shared their favorite memory of being a major in the English Department and their post-graduation plans



I am a Creative Writing and Digital Media Production double major. 

My favorite memories of being in the English department here at AU would probably include the workshop classes, where I got to know many of my fellow graduating seniors and I felt like we made real friendships and professional connections, and the events for Sigma Tau Delta, primarily the pizza and show nights where we would attend the Theater Department's plays and musicals. 

I have accepted a position at Chapman University for their M.F.A. in Creative Writing 
and Digital Media Production.



Department Honors:
Kellie was also awarded two department honors: Outstanding Senior in English and The Richard Snyder Prize for Outstanding Capstone, which she shared with co-winner Rachel Barkley.  Kellie's thesis was a television pilot and screenplay: "Eris Heights"
Congratulations Kellie!
