SOL Class of 2009
Meg and John sent a few photos from last weekend’s commencement activities. Congratulations to the amazing Tina Whipple of Shelbyville, TN, our program’s first graduate!
Here she is with Dr. Grammer after the ceremony. This was a big day for both of them!
Check out the MFA regalia. Do you get to keep the hood, Tina? What will you do with it? Wear it for a month straight, I hope.
First Graduate
John Grammer just sent me the following good news:
As you may have heard, the SOL is about to have its first graduate. Tina Whipple has defended her MFA thesis, a complete draft of a young adult novel entitled “Peacekeeper: Cherokee Little People.” The degree will be conferred at Sewanee’s commencement this coming Sunday. After considerable debate among classics professors and University Administrators, it was agreed that the ceremonial Latin for “Fine Arts” will be “Bellis Artibus,” which phrase narrowly edged out “Artibus Eligantibus,” which was found to be rather inelegant. We’ll take some pictures and pass those along after we get ‘em.
Go Class of 2009! Congrats Tina!
