Jackson Schultz Wins Snyder Award

 


Jackson Schultz, a spring 2021 graduate from Mansfield, Ohio who majored in creative writing and geology, won the Snyder Award for outstanding work as a senior creative writing major. Named after Richard Snyder, long-time department chair and co-founder of Ashland Poetry Press, the award comes with a cash prize. 

Dr. Kelly Sundberg, Assistant Professor of English and supervisor of Schultz's senior capstone, praised his project: "Jackson Schultz's From the Height of Our Sin, Looking Down is a captivating and experimental view of a future world that has been destroyed by human hubris. Schultz has created a trilogy of science fiction narratives that illustrate various elements of human shortcomings. Overall, the work is extremely well-written and well-conceived."

Congratulations, Jackson!
