Senior Bryant Francis and Assistant Professor Todd Schack are this year's recipients of the Park School Writing Award.

A panel of Park School faculty whose professional expertise represent scholarly writing, journalism, and screen/scriptwriting reviewed the nominations and selected the winners.

Student Award:

Bryant Francis, a cinema and photography major, won for his feature-length screenplay, The Legend of Jackson Hull.

This science fiction western set in an alternate version of the 19th century—a retro-futuristic Wild West—pits a Pinkerton Agent against both scientists and cold-hearted criminals to not only save his wife but Nikola Tesla, the real-life inventor.

Francis has written a fast-paced, well-structured screenplay that, in the words of nominator Professor Steven Ginsberg, is “both imaginative and professional and bodes well for his writing future.”

As announced in an Intercom story in March, the campus email system for faculty, staff and students will be replaced by Microsoft Live@edu in June. ITS is still working out many of the details, and important information will be distributed to the campus community as we get closer to June.

In the mean time, all users are strongly encouraged to do "housekeeping" in their current email account by deleting messages in Trash and Junk folders, as well as any old messages that are no longer needed. This will help the migration process go as smoothly and efficiently as possible when the time comes.
