Bartleby Donates Journals, Faculty Advisor Receives UMBC Award
Bartleby, UMBC’s creative arts journal, featuring outstanding student fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and art, is starting the new academic year with two proud announcements. First, the journal’s staff has just wrapped up a donation of back issues of Bartleby to the Union Bethel AME Church, which took these to South Africa to distribute as part of its mission work there. According to the church’s Lorraine Brown, “books were the second highest item of demand” after hygiene products, making the journals a most welcome and important contribution.
Secondly, Bartleby’s advisor Sally Shivnan, senior lecturer in English, has been named UMBC’s 2007 Faculty Advisor of the Year in the annual UMBC Black-and-Gold Awards.
