Nick Kowalczyk, associate professor of writing, recently published a personal essay, "To Finally Embrace Living," in George Mason University's literary magazine Phoebe. The essay is about the immediate fallout of Professor Kowalczyk's taking of a DNA test this past summer to settle the longstanding question of what "race" he is.
