Dear Colleagues,

Congratulations to Annmarie Drury, whose recent book, Translation as Transformation in Victorian Poetry, has just been awarded the 2016 Sonya Rudikoff Prize from the Northeastern Victorian Studies Association for the best first book in Victorian studies.

Congratulations as well to Danica Savonick, who recently received a 2017 Patricia Cross Future Leaders Award from the Association of American Colleges and Universities.  These awards recognize “graduate students who show exemplary promise as future leaders of higher education; who demonstrate a commitment to developing academic and civic responsibility in themselves and others; and whose work reflects a strong emphasis on teaching and learning”: https://www.aacu.org/meetings/annualmeeting/AM17/CrossScholars
