Prize Writer
Universitas, the Online Newsletter from the Pittsburg State University College of Arts and Sciences featured an article titled "Prize Writer" about me! This is indeed an honor!
Robin Pettibon, a 2011 graduate of Pittsburg State University, is not only a writer, but, as someone who's had an essay published in the Sigma Tau Delta Review, she can be thought of as a writer's writer.

Readers, this disaster hits very close to my home. Joplin is the pulse of our South West Missouri community, and it is all but gone. If you would like to help the Joplin relief, you may contact the Red Cross. If you have donations, here is a link on Google Docs of available drop off locations. If you know of a location in your area, please add it to the list. These families need hygiene supplies, diapers, feminine napkins, tooth brushes, tooth paste, soap, deodorant, toilet paper, etc. Thank you for supporting this community in its dire time.

Although many students struggle with grammar and punctuation, many more struggle with global issues such as focus, development, and organization.
