“My past four years as a writing major have been some of the most wonderful, difficult, frustrating, and rewarding times that I’ve known. I’m particularly grateful to Drs. Holmberg, Fincke, and Bailey for urging me forward with my writing. I drove them mad with revisions, applications, and requests for letters of recommendation. But they never turned me away. After I graduate, I’ll still carry with me what I’ve learned at Susquehanna. I’m happy to have accepted an invitation to attend Hollins University’s MFA program.” ------------Alexis Czencz ‘04

"I developed a good support system of friends who were writing majors that were always willing to read a piece and give a little feedback in their spare time." ---------Jen Rock, 01
