Claire-Edgewood • A chance to take general education courses • Take classes in the arts • Discovered Art History • Creative Writing-challenged me to explore • Better luck getting into theatre productions-Murder Mystery, Miracle Worker, TunnelTown • Wrote 2 articles for OnTheEdge Students Newspaper • Won 2 nd place in college-wide Writing Contest Claire is a wonderful member of our Creative Writing class. Her criticism is often astute; she has more to say about the work of other students than anyone else. Her own short story shows progress over the work she showed me last year. She is beginning to create characters and scenes. And yes, I was very glad to see her excellent book review in On the Edge. -Dr. David Young Dr. Dedra Hafner, Edgewood College
