JPEE student Carlina Duan wins two Hopwood writing awards
Carlina Duan, a doctoral student in the Joint Program in English and Education, has won The Hopwood Award Theodore Roethke Prize for her poem “Alien Miss.”
This award goes to the best long poem or poetic sequence written by a University of Michigan student, undergraduate or graduate. The award is presented to winners during the annual Hopwood Awards Ceremony, which takes place each April.
Duan also won this year’s Hopwood Graduate Nonfiction Award for her piece “Liquid Moment.”
The Hopwood Program awards over $250,000 in prizes to U-M students for excellent writing each year. The program is in the College of Literature, Science, and Arts (LSA), and it hosts a variety of contests and prizes for U-M students as well as a number of public events, including awards ceremonies, readings, and lectures.
Hopwood Program Manager Rebecca Manery said, “As a JPEE alumna myself, I’m particularly thrilled to have an JPEE student win two Hopwood Awards on my watch!"
