Message from Creative Writing Department Chair, Anne Gisleson
Gabby approaches all of her creative endeavors with rigor and heart. She also has always searched for ways to be supportive of her community, whether through volunteering for departmental events or organizing a school-wide mixer to promote connection across disciplines. A reliably dynamic and serious contributor to discussions, Gabby is consistently prepared and willing to do more than what's necessary. She is responsive to and supportive of her classmates, building others up with genuine concern and enthusiasm. We've also been impressed with her maturity throughout this year and how positive she's been however difficult the circumstances. Often, even when she would say she was stressed, she never missed an assignment or let a discussion question go unanswered. We're proud to honor Gabby's generous spirit with this award.
