Greetings to all alumni, parents, faculty, and College, advancing discovery, creativity, and inquiry friends of the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences! are integral to our mission.

Faculty Star Power: Celebrated Authors Inspire Students
RENOWNED WRITERS DOUBLING as college English professors is not a rarity among universities, but few institutions of higher learning can boast the concentration of teaching talent that exists within Columbian College’s Creative Writing Program. These award-winning authors are not resting on their laurels; rather, they are dedicated and engaged mentors to the next generation of poets, playwrights, and novelists.
Take, for example, author Edward P. Jones, winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction and the National Book Critics Circle Award for The Known World, and a recipient of a MacArthur Foundation fellowship (commonly called the “Genius Award”). After teaching one semester at GW as a Wang Visiting Professor in Contemporary English Literature, Jones officially joined the English Department in 2010 as a full-time professor. “Writers have to trust the deepest parts of themselves, “Professor Jones made us write the way people do in the real world,” said be willing to expose those economics major and creative writing minor Chester Hill, BA ’11. “He turned us parts, and then separate loose and said write 55 pages by the end of the semester. It was demanding, themselves from the work but it was cool being in class with a guy as decorated as he is and seeing his that’s on the page.” reactions to my work and that of other students.”
Jane Shore, Professor A LITERARY BONANZA of English In a city that has been a hub of literary creativity and a home to such esteemed poets and novelists as Walt Whitman, Elizabeth Bishop, and Gore Vidal, it seems only natural that GW’s Creative Writing Program has blossomed, attracting writers who are the best in their field. The program’s courses in fiction, poetry, and playwriting are combined with regular campus readings by visiting writers, and a number of student-run publications. The result: a lively literary community that is the envy of peer institutions around the country.
Small classes—no more than 15 students—enable one-on-one interaction that replicates the relationship between writers and editors. The curriculum for majors is rigorous and includes writing a short story, play, poem, or 50-page novella.
www.columbian.gwu.edu star power page 16
Creative Writing Director Thomas Mallon, the author of seven novels, including Henry and Clara, and winner of the American Academy of Arts and Letters’ Harold D. Vursell Memorial Award for exceptional prose, is impressed by the way students respond to teacher involvement.
“When you start talking about how one of their characters might plausibly behave, they sense you’re on their side, that you want the piece to be good,” said Mallon, who is currently editing his eighth novel. “In the process, they’re learning about organization, clarity, and continuity.”
Critically-acclaimed poet Jane Shore joined the Creative Writing Program in 1989 as a Jenny McKean Moore Writer, a one-year writer-in-residence post that was established thanks to the generous legacy of Moore, a former student of playwriting at GW. Now a full-time faculty member, Shore won the 2010 Poet’s Prize for her book A Yes-or-No Answer and is working on her sixth book, New and Selected Poems.
“I try to help my students discover what’s different about them as people and put that into their writing,” Shore said. “Writers have to trust the deepest parts of themselves, be willing to expose those parts, and then separate themselves from the work that’s on the page.”
Jessica Flynn, BA ’04, took her first intermediate poetry workshop with Shore. “I remember going in feeling not at all confident in my ability to write a poem and leaving class at the end of the semester feeling like a poet, knowing I had a story to tell and the ability to tell it,” she said. Edward P. Jones After graduating from GW, Flynn went to New York University to earn her master’s and work in NYU’s Creative Writing Program. Over the years, she has stayed in touch with Shore and was honored last year when Shore read a poem at her wedding.

That solar panel company, and others, saw the spotlight when Planet Forward— GW’s online social network forum for ideas on energy, climate control, and sustainability—launched “The Energy of Innovation” on PBS in April.
Produced by Columbian College’s School of Media and Public Affairs (SMPA), the television special singled out seven concepts from among hundreds of online video entries. The show’s panel of experts—including former Michigan Governor Frank Sesno on the Planet Forward TV set Jennifer Granholm, New York Times “Dot Earth” blogger Andrew Revkin, and DuPont Chief Innovation Officer Tom Connelly—offered feedback to the studio audience, then selected one of two concepts to follow online for the next 12 Planet Forward curated a blog on National months.

In A Mathematical Look at Politics, Professors of Mathematics Arthur Robinson and Daniel Ullman seek to address these issues while providing students with a more interesting approach to learning quantitative reasoning. Students are asked to not only make computations but also to state results, prove them, and draw conclusions about specific examples. Tying the liberal arts classroom to real-world mathematical applications, the text is more deeply engaging than a traditional general education book that surveys the mathematical landscape. It aims to instill a fondness for mathematics in a population not always convinced that mathematics is relevant.

Harlan Scholarship Trust, which was established in 2009 through a $9 million bequest from his estate. Harlan, who died in 2006, received a bachelor’s degree in botany from GW in 1935 and briefly served as a lab instructor in the department. (Botany is now part of the Department of Biological Sciences.) The Harlan Trust provided an initial $1.35 million gift last fall to support the construction of a state-of-the-art greenhouse in the new Science and Engineering Hall (see story, page 4) and fund merit-based scholarships for biology students. The summer stipends are also funded through the trust.
“These students are the next generation of scientists,” said Diana Lipscomb, chair of the department and the Robert L. Weintraub Professor of Biological Sciences. “The research experience gives our undergraduate and graduate
