Honoring Elizabeth Gwin

Since 1989, Elizabeth Gwin has made annual donations to the Howell H. Gwin Memorial Scholarship fund. This scholarship benefits advanced English majors and beginning graduate students who have distinguished themselves as writers of literary criticism. Ms. Gwin maintains the scholarship in honor of her husband, Howell H. Gwin, a former professor with 25 years of distinguished service to our department. In the photo, recent winners of the Gwin Scholarship stand with their generous donor: (left to right) Dennis Hoyle, a senior from Libertyville, Illinois; Courtney Kimbrough, an MA student from Saltillo, Mississippi; Lauren Shook, an MA student from Starkville; Tyler Trimm, an MA student from Starkville; and Ms. Gwin.
