Kirtz, Mary K. Literary Essay Prize in International Literature
The Mary K. Kirtz Literary Essay Prize in International Literature, funded by Dr. Mary K. Kirtz, honors the achievements of her students who studied Canadian, Modern Russian, Modern European, and Holocaust literatures in the Department of English. This literary prize will be awarded for an outstanding undergraduate or graduate essay on any world literature topic, with the exception of American or British literature.
The prize will be awarded by a faculty committee of the Department of English, members selected by the chair of the department. At least two of the committee members will be instructors in courses covering international (other than British or American) literature, unless the committee has fewer than three members. In that case, only one must be an instructor in international literature. The prize will be $200.
