Baker and Greenberg have received fellowships for a third year at Vanderbilt

Matt Baker and Zack Greenberg

The MFA program received support for two fellowships in Creative Writing in the spring of 2011.  The faculty then decided to give the fellowships to two second-year students; with this support, the recipients are now able to spend a third year in residence at Vanderbilt.  During the 2011-2012 academic year, they will be able to take part in a variety of activities associated with the Creative Writing Program and to concentrate without interruption on their own writing.

These new third-year fellowships were awarded to fiction writer Matthew Baker and poet Zachary Greenberg, who are able to remain enrolled at Vanderbilt as non-credit students (they will receive their degrees in May 2012).
