        <div class='accordion-innerContainer'>A roster can tell professors a lot about a class&#8211;especially the dynamics of the class, based on the personalities of the students. Seeing Valerie&#8217;s name on a roster has been a sign to faculty that this class is going to do just fine. Seeing her name allows the professor to know there will be valuable conversation, discussion points grounded in readings and focused on critical topics, and important light bulb moments. Valerie is the kind of person who leans into every assignment with her whole intellect. She impressively combines critical attentiveness and rhetorical principles to craft exceptional projects. From white papers to website revisions to application of critical theory in dense papers&#8211;literary, rhetorical, and linguistic&#8211;Valerie simply excels at the theory and practice of English Studies. Her work represents the best of our discipline, and her enthusiasm, curiosity, and rigorous work ethic are inspiring, making her faculty proud to be Monmouth University English Department Faculty. It is bittersweet to know she is graduating: we may not see her name on our rosters again, but we know that she is moving confidently out into the world, armed with a calm, piercing intellect. <\/div>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"padding\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19762\" style=\"object-position: 45.72% 36.88%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Christina-Blumstein-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Christina Blumstein, English Merit Award recipient\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Christina-Blumstein-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Christina-Blumstein-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Christina-Blumstein-280x280.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Christina-Blumstein-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Christina-Blumstein-360x360.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Christina-Blumstein.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\n<div class='accordion accordion-section '><button class='accordion-section-title' href='#christina-blumsteinthe-english-merit-award'>\n<h3><strong>Christina Blumstein<\/strong><\/h3>\n<em>The English Merit Award<\/em> \r\n            <span class='caretContainer'>\r\n                <svg class='caret' viewBox='0 0 1825 1825'width='28' height='28' fill='#0d64b2' stroke='#0d64b2' style='position: absolute'>\r\n                    <use xlink:href='#caret'><\/use>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n        <\/button><div class='accordion-section-content' id='christina-blumsteinthe-english-merit-award'>\r\n            <div class='accordion-innerContainer'>During her four years at Monmouth University, Christina Blumstein, has not only distinguished herself by earning a cumulative 3.992 grade point average and a 4.0 in both her English and her Secondary Education majors, but she has demonstrated intellectual initiative by completing elective minors in Italian and Communication Sciences and Disorders, exhibited a commitment to extracurricular involvement by being an active member of the Sigma Tau Delta and Phi Eta Sigma honor societies, evidenced leadership by serving as President of the Italian Club, and shown promise as a future literacy educator by excelling in her teaching placements, in her speech pathology internships, and as a substitute teacher in the Old Bridge Township Public School System.

She is the first person in her immediate family to earn a bachelor&#8217;s degree and acknowledges how grateful she is for their support.\nMelissa participated in the Buddy and Me Mentorship Program at Monmouth. As an undergraduate, Melissa has taken several graduate courses including Feminist Theory, Queer World Lit, and Teaching Elementary Social Studies, a combined undergraduate and graduate course. Melissa has always wanted to be a teacher. In her own words, \u201cI put everything I am into making sure I could be the best possible version of myself for my students. I&#8217;ve never been able to picture myself doing anything else, so I wanted to make sure I worked as hard as possible to make my dream become a reality.\u201d Currently, she is completing her student teaching in a third grade class at Middle Road Elementary School in Hazlet. In the fall, she will apply for full time positions across Monmouth and Ocean counties.\nMelissa would like to thank her family, her boyfriend Nic, her cooperating teachers and students, and Dr. Goulding for helping her achieve success over the past few years.\n<\/div>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"columns onethird\">\n<div class=\"padding\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19793\" style=\"object-position: 48.775% 38.32%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Kathleen-Ruocco-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Kathleen Ruocco. 2022 English Award for Academic Writing recipient\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Kathleen-Ruocco-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Kathleen-Ruocco-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Kathleen-Ruocco-280x280.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Kathleen-Ruocco-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Kathleen-Ruocco-360x360.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Kathleen-Ruocco.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\n<div class='accordion accordion-section '><button class='accordion-section-title' href='#kathleen-ruoccothe-english-award-for-academic-writing'>\n<h3>Kathleen Ruocco<\/h3>\n<em>The English Award for Academic Writing<\/em> \r\n            <span class='caretContainer'>\r\n                <svg class='caret' viewBox='0 0 1825 1825'width='28' height='28' fill='#0d64b2' stroke='#0d64b2' style='position: absolute'>\r\n                    <use xlink:href='#caret'><\/use>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n        <\/button><div class='accordion-section-content' id='kathleen-ruoccothe-english-award-for-academic-writing'>\r\n            <div class='accordion-innerContainer'>Jane Austen allegedly referred to her writings as &#8220;the little bit (two inches wide) of ivory on which I work with so fine a brush,&#8221; and in this year&#8217;s selection for the Academic Writing Award, Katie Ruocco examines Austen&#8217;s Mansfield Park to look past the ivory and consider the elephant &#8212; i.e., the elephant in the room that is the Bertram family&#8217;s socioeconomic dependence on Antiguan slavery, a plot point the novel seems to sweep under the rug. Ruocco discusses the novel&#8217;s patriarch, Sir Thomas Bertram, arguing that to Austen&#8217;s original readers, Sir Thomas&#8217;s &#8220;jumped-up&#8221; social status, sense of noblesse oblige, casual cruelty, and view of human beings as property would have marked him to contemporary readers as unmistakably a slave owner. As such, Ruocco suggests that slavery, far from being a regrettable, marginal, and quickly abandoned practice, was thoroughly embedded in the economy, international influence, and daily domestic lives of the British. Her prize-winning essay, selected from a noticeably extensive and distinguished group of competitors, not only demonstrates the importance of reading literature with an eye to historical context but also furnishes a rich example of how literary study can make a commitment to the aims of anti-racism and social justice. <\/div>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"padding\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19802\" style=\"object-position: 48.96% 54.37%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Patricia-Banfitch-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Patricia Banfitch, 2022 English Award for Undergraduate Creative Writing recipient\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Patricia-Banfitch-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Patricia-Banfitch-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Patricia-Banfitch-280x280.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Patricia-Banfitch-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Patricia-Banfitch-360x360.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Patricia-Banfitch.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\n<div class='accordion accordion-section '><button class='accordion-section-title' href='#patricia-banfitchthe-english-undergraduate-creative-writing-award'>\n<h3>Patricia Banfitch<\/h3>\n<em>The English Undergraduate Creative Writing Award<\/em> \r\n            <span class='caretContainer'>\r\n                <svg class='caret' viewBox='0 0 1825 1825'width='28' height='28' fill='#0d64b2' stroke='#0d64b2' style='position: absolute'>\r\n                    <use xlink:href='#caret'><\/use>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n        <\/button><div class='accordion-section-content' id='patricia-banfitchthe-english-undergraduate-creative-writing-award'>\r\n            <div class='accordion-innerContainer'>For the second year in a row, Patricia Banfitch has been chosen as the winner of the Undergraduate Creative Writing Award. This year, Trish has received that distinction for a novella that she wrote during the fall semester for an independent study\u2014a project for which she will graduate with departmental honors. In it, Trish writes with great sensitivity and nuance about a high school-aged protagonist, who, during her father\u2019s slow death from cancer, enters into a sexual relationship with her father\u2019s middle-aged home health aide. As one might imagine, the story is often disturbing and painful. Yet it is a testament to Trish\u2019s instincts as a fiction writer and her considerable gifts for characterization and subtlety that this story also contains convincing moments of intimacy, tenderness, heartbreak, and even humor. Trish plans to spend the year after graduation working, writing, and honing her graduate-school application materials with the intention of enrolling in a MFA program in fiction in fall 2023.\u201d<\/div>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"padding\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19799\" style=\"object-position: 47.805% 58.795%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Malia-Padalino-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Malia Padalino, 2022 English Award for Graduate Creative Writing recipient\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Malia-Padalino-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Malia-Padalino-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Malia-Padalino-280x279.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Malia-Padalino-320x319.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Malia-Padalino-360x359.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Malia-Padalino.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\n<div class='accordion accordion-section '><button class='accordion-section-title' href='#malia-padalinothe-english-graduate-creative-writing-award'>\n<h3>Malia Padalino<\/h3>\n<em>The English Graduate Creative Writing Award<\/em> \r\n            <span class='caretContainer'>\r\n                <svg class='caret' viewBox='0 0 1825 1825'width='28' height='28' fill='#0d64b2' stroke='#0d64b2' style='position: absolute'>\r\n                    <use xlink:href='#caret'><\/use>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n        <\/button><div class='accordion-section-content' id='malia-padalinothe-english-graduate-creative-writing-award'>\r\n            <div class='accordion-innerContainer'>&#8220;Malia Paladino&#8217;s &#8220;Broken Mirrors&#8221;

When they get too hot, they get out of the car and stand in the rain. But these too teenagers \u201cweren\u2019t dating, [they] weren\u2019t almost dating, [they] weren\u2019t even really friends.\u201d Their connection is ambiguous, which the narrator claims to feel just fine about at the beginning of the piece. However, over the course of this story, which is driven not so much by plot as it is by character interiority and psychological realism, we come to realize that this ambiguity is yielding powerful feelings on at least one side of the dyad. Over the course of six tightly controlled, tautly narrated pages, Gabby manages to depict the narrator\u2019s dawning awareness of her changing emotions in simple, moving, and elegant prose. Gabby notes, \u201cmy plan for the future is actually to become an author! I want to write fiction books and am planning to get a job in editing and publishing after I graduate to support myself and better understand the industry while I finish my first book.

Maura participates in the Student government Association and is a member of Alpha Sigma Tau. Maura says, &#8220;writing is such an important form of communication and expression. I feel that the ability to write is one of the most essential skills a person can have.&#8221; The Department of English is pleased to recognize Maura with its First-Year Composition Academic Essay Award for her essay, &#8220;The Truth in Hamlet&#8217;s Insanity.&#8221; Maura Foley&#8217;s &#8220;The Truth in Hamlet&#8217;s Insanity&#8221; is an inventive analysis of Hamlet&#8217;s behavior. Through her careful connections to historical works\u00a0and\u00a0Hamlet, she asserts that the impactful changes in Hamlet&#8217;s life both justify and explain his altered behavior. Her well-argued chain-of-reasoning is a persuasive paper. She leads the reader to believe that Hamlet never became insane.<\/div>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19810\" style=\"object-position: 36.18% 56.7%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Lukas-Kalinauskas-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Lukas Kalinauskas, 2022 David Tietge Memorial First Year Composition Essay Award for Researched Writing\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Lukas-Kalinauskas-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Lukas-Kalinauskas-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Lukas-Kalinauskas-280x280.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Lukas-Kalinauskas-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Lukas-Kalinauskas-360x360.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/04\/Lukas-Kalinauskas.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\n<div class='accordion accordion-section '><button class='accordion-section-title' href='#lukas-kalinauskasresearched-essay-award'>\n<h3>Lukas Kalinauskas<\/h3>\n<em>Researched Essay Award<\/em> \r\n            <span class='caretContainer'>\r\n                <svg class='caret' viewBox='0 0 1825 1825'width='28' height='28' fill='#0d64b2' stroke='#0d64b2' style='position: absolute'>\r\n                    <use xlink:href='#caret'><\/use>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n        <\/button><div class='accordion-section-content' id='lukas-kalinauskasresearched-essay-award'>\r\n            <div class='accordion-innerContainer'>Lukas Kalinauskas is a sophomore from Jackson, NJ pursuing a Business Administration major with a concentration in Marketing at Monmouth University. Lukas has a passion for the art of storytelling, which he discovered during his 4-year enlistment in the Marine Corps for journalism. No matter what kind of writing Lukas is composing, authenticity is always his priority. \u201cI&#8217;d rather lose a few points on an essay,\u201d he says, \u201cif it means I can have some fun with it and enjoy the time I spent writing.\u201d In his essay, \u201cWhat is Godzilla?\u201d, Lukas Kalinauskas explores Godzilla as an evolving symbol of Japanese culture and government over the last 68 years. His work effortlessly guides readers through an exploration of the iconic monster as a representation of historic horror, nuclear devastation, arms race anxiety, extreme work ethic, environmental collapse and even, the indestructible hope that have\u00a0characterized Japanese culture in the decades following World War II. The paper culminates in an engaging, interesting and entertaining interpretation of Godzilla\u2019s rise from atomic ash to international fame and lasting presence in popular consciousness, while fostering important considerations about fear, power, and politics in Japanese culture along the way.<\/div>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sectionheader\">Sigma Tau Delta Induction Ceremony<\/div>\n<div class=\"columns rightwide\">\n<div class=\"padding\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/documents\/congratulations-from-beth-swanson-sigma-tau-delta-chapter-advisor.pdf\/\" class=\"sidebyside arrow blue center\"><div class=\"details\"><div>\n<h4>Congratulations from Beth Sara Swanson, M.A., M.A.T., Chapter Advisor<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"850\" style=\"object-position: 51.4% 48.405%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2021\/05\/Beth-Sara-Swanson.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Photo of Beth Sara Swanson\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2021\/05\/Beth-Sara-Swanson.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2021\/05\/Beth-Sara-Swanson-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2021\/05\/Beth-Sara-Swanson-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2021\/05\/Beth-Sara-Swanson-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2021\/05\/Beth-Sara-Swanson-560x560.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2021\/05\/Beth-Sara-Swanson-280x280.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2021\/05\/Beth-Sara-Swanson-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2021\/05\/Beth-Sara-Swanson-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2021\/05\/Beth-Sara-Swanson-360x360.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/div><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"padding\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-8582\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2019\/03\/sig-tau-seal-5-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2019\/03\/sig-tau-seal-5-300x286.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2019\/03\/sig-tau-seal-5-560x533.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2019\/03\/sig-tau-seal-5-280x267.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2019\/03\/sig-tau-seal-5-320x305.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2019\/03\/sig-tau-seal-5-640x609.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2019\/03\/sig-tau-seal-5-360x343.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2019\/03\/sig-tau-seal-5-150x143.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2019\/03\/sig-tau-seal-5.jpg 692w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>Sigma Tau Delta is the International Honor Society.
