The Janet Sackfie Book Prize is open to MA students in English and is awarded annually to the best essay submitted as part of the regular coursework in fall and winter semesters.
This prize was established to recognize the contributions of Janet Sackfie to the Department of English Language and Literature, where she served as Administrative Assistant for over a decade during her 25 years at Brock.
The graduate committee members acknowledged that “all the papers submitted were impressive; indeed, they all had such different strengths and merits that the decision was not easy. In the end, Claire Thyne’s “R is for Resting” stood out for its creativity in combining genres and its innovation to a theoretically significant topic.”
Congratulations, Claire!
