EWL Student Spotlight!

Our Student Spotlight this week is Summer Hodgins. Summer is a senior English major with a concentration in creative writing and minor in history.

What’s the best thing about EWL?

“The passion surrounding the arts and the strong sense of community has been one of the highlights about my time at AU. The teachers and professors really talk to you like a friend and make you feel seen as a student.”

What has been your favorite course?
“My favorite course was probably Fiction Workshop. I loved talking about my work and getting the feedback to improve it.”

Do you have any advice for fellow or future EWL students?
“Don’t rush! Take your time and enjoy what you’re taking in.”

What are your plans after AU?
“After AU, I would like to go to graduate school or pursue a career in critiquing literature or films.”

We’re lucky to have you in EWL, Summer!
