Trine University's Humanities and Communication (HAC) department recently announced the winners of its Walter Cunningham Writing Contest. This is the sixth year for the contest, sponsored in conjunction with the Humanities Institute and the Writing Center.

Nicole Walters, an Sunbury, Ohio, (43074) junior majoring in chemical engineering, won second place in the fiction category. In her submission “The Lady of the Wood,” Grandfather shares the story of the Lady as he sits by the fireside.

First-, second- and third-place prizes and honorable mentions were awarded in academic, creative nonfiction, fiction and poetry categories. Authors' names were removed to ensure fairness in judging and the entries were ranked by a panel of judges from across Trine University's campus.
