Graduate Destiny Hall Admitted to Columbia University

Congratulations to our Spring 2021 graduate, Destiny Hall, who was admitted into Columbia University’s MFA program!

Destiny reflects on her time in the Writing Arts program: "I think that one of the most valuable aspects of the Writing Arts program is the connections that I've made. Before applying to graduate school I was really lucky and privileged to have professors willing to invest their time and explain the graduation application process to me. I'm a first-generation college student so this information was invaluable. I know that without my professors' constant commitment to my education and professional goals I wouldn't have been able to succeed in applying to graduate school. Although I graduate in less than a week I can't believe that I'm graduating from college much less pursuing a degree from an Ivy League University. I know it's cliche but, I'm really excited for everything that's coming my way. It's not every day that your dreams come true and I'm very eager to find a new dream."

Congrats, Destiny! Our department was so lucky to watch you flourish!
