Three writing awards and a fellowship for Calvin profs

A trio of writing awards

Calvin College professor of sociology Mark Mulder recently received three writing awards for an article he wrote in the fall of 2009 for the 'Banner,' a magazine published monthly by the Christian Reformed Church in North America.

Mulder's article, "A Silent Dwelling," which details the challenges Mulder and his wife faced in adopting a child, was awarded first place by the Associated Church Press in the Feature Article: Short Format category. The Evangelical Press Association awarded it third place in the First-Person Article Category and fourth in the General Article: Short category.

A prestigious fellowship

Calvin College professor of art and art history Elizabeth Van Arragon is the recipient of a 2010 Ansel Adams Fellowship. The fellowship, awarded by The Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona, supports projects that require an extended period of research in the collections of the Center.

Van Arragon presented her research at the Center in April and is currently revising an article for publication with 'American Quarterly.'
