For the <a href=\"\/academics\/english\/\" rel=\"noopener\">English Program<\/a>, this year was especially memorable, with many special experiences, accomplishments, and honors to go around.<\/p>\n<p>The class of 2023 includes a lot of faces that will be missed in the coming years, and who achieved so much in their time at SOU. These are folks who contributed so much to the clubs, teams, organizations, and classes they were a part of, both in the English department and beyond. On June 13 and 15, the graduating senior English majors presented their Capstone projects, which is the most academically meaningful part of their time at SOU. The presentations were diverse in topics (including literary analyses, unit plans for teaching language arts, a family memoir, a family cookbook, the history of audiobooks, and more), and clearly illustrated the time, effort, and passion that the senior class devoted to their culminating project.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-8icxtu0-b882b0c334246b076be810a04fa5402c\">\n.avia-image-container.av-8icxtu0-b882b0c334246b076be810a04fa5402c img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-8icxtu0-b882b0c334246b076be810a04fa5402c .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-8icxtu0-b882b0c334246b076be810a04fa5402c av-styling-no-styling avia-align-  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-20'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-English-Program-2022-2023-Year-in-Review-Rona-Stublefield.webp 1200w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-English-Program-2022-2023-Year-in-Review-Rona-Stublefield-300x129.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-English-Program-2022-2023-Year-in-Review-Rona-Stublefield-1030x442.webp 1030w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-English-Program-2022-2023-Year-in-Review-Rona-Stublefield-768x330.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-English-Program-2022-2023-Year-in-Review-Rona-Stublefield-705x303.webp 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-English-Program-2022-2023-Year-in-Review-Rona-Stublefield.jpg\" height=\"515\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-English-Program-2022-2023-Year-in-Review-Rona-Stublefield.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-English-Program-2022-2023-Year-in-Review-Rona-Stublefield-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-English-Program-2022-2023-Year-in-Review-Rona-Stublefield-1030x442.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-English-Program-2022-2023-Year-in-Review-Rona-Stublefield-768x330.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-English-Program-2022-2023-Year-in-Review-Rona-Stublefield-705x303.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" class=\"wp-image-83581 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-83581 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Franklin&#039;s Bumble Bee Bombus franklini Federal Status: Endangered This bumble bee is known for having the smallest population distribution in the world.

For starters, several English majors got the opportunity to go on an informative tour of the local Blackstone Publishing, which was a great way for students interested in the field of publishing to learn more about it. The program also hosted an informative panel on teaching careers this year, featuring professionals and SOU alumni in the field. In May, the English Program worked together with Lady Vanderlip from the Spanish Department, the Office for Equity, Diversity, &amp; Inclusion, and other campus partners to host a tour of the SOU campus for second grade English Language Learners from Wilson Elementary School in Medford. This event included the reading of Elementary Ed major Jose Villalobos&#8217; self-written bilingual children\u2019s book, which is being published through the Oregon Writing Project (which you can

Students Blake Jordan, Emily Roach, and Connor Babbitt traveled to Portland in March to present at the Northwest Undergraduate Conference on Literature (NUCL). The experience was a prestigious (and fun) one for the students whose work was accepted to be presented (and you can read more about it <a href=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/sou-english-students-get-opportunity-to-present-at-the-prestigious-northwest-undergraduate-conference-on-literature\/\">here<\/a>). Plenty of English students were also awarded with scholarships this year, including Sophia Lorusso (an anonymous scholarship and the Dankook award), Connor Babbitt (John Burley Scholarship), Kaylie Greene (Isabel Meyn scholarship), and Dulce Nunez (Ed Battistella Linguistics award). On top of this, senior English major Blake Jordan was selected to be a commencement speaker at the 2023 commencement ceremony.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3hzde94-0c9e3d6f0e87db0788ac9693023fdb08\">\n.avia-image-container.av-3hzde94-0c9e3d6f0e87db0788ac9693023fdb08 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-3hzde94-0c9e3d6f0e87db0788ac9693023fdb08 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-3hzde94-0c9e3d6f0e87db0788ac9693023fdb08 av-styling-no-styling avia-align-  avia-builder-el-43  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-20'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-2022-2023-Eleventh-Photo-Southern-Oregon-University.webp 1200w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-2022-2023-Eleventh-Photo-Southern-Oregon-University-300x150.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-2022-2023-Eleventh-Photo-Southern-Oregon-University-1030x515.webp 1030w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-2022-2023-Eleventh-Photo-Southern-Oregon-University-768x384.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-2022-2023-Eleventh-Photo-Southern-Oregon-University-705x353.webp 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-2022-2023-Eleventh-Photo-Southern-Oregon-University.jpg\" height=\"600\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-2022-2023-Eleventh-Photo-Southern-Oregon-University.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-2022-2023-Eleventh-Photo-Southern-Oregon-University-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-2022-2023-Eleventh-Photo-Southern-Oregon-University-1030x515.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-2022-2023-Eleventh-Photo-Southern-Oregon-University-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/06\/SOU-2022-2023-Eleventh-Photo-Southern-Oregon-University-705x353.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" class=\"wp-image-83570 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-83570 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"SOU 2022 2023 Eleventh Photo 糖心传媒 University\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-liw73c5d-59187671a778c0d8a09d20e2d0c4c6c5\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-liw73c5d-59187671a778c0d8a09d20e2d0c4c6c5 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:12px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-liw73c5d-59187671a778c0d8a09d20e2d0c4c6c5 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Pictured Above: Blake Jordan with his nifty new typewriter he picked while at the NUCL.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-liw740mr-1d8b65442b0b89642c04508c07840ada\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-liw740mr-1d8b65442b0b89642c04508c07840ada .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:26px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-liw740mr-1d8b65442b0b89642c04508c07840ada '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock rising-quote av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><blockquote>\n<p class=\"dig-4\" style=\"text-align: left\"><em><span class=\"amaze-ultra madrone\">&#8220;I will always be grateful for the things I learned here at SOU.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"pop-8\" style=\"font-size: 0.6em;text-align: right\">\u2013 Senior English Major<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-liw77ccw-a26fc4032d39c717a7b642a62893d80b\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-liw77ccw-a26fc4032d39c717a7b642a62893d80b .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-liw77ccw-a26fc4032d39c717a7b642a62893d80b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Finally, I as the 22-23 English Program blogger would like to thank you for all of the readership, support and kind words I received this year.
