Hi all -- 



It's always hard in the summer to remember to tell the UCR 

world about important things, or at least it is out here in 

the desert where it's currently 100 degrees at 10:30pm, but I 

wanted to draw your attention to two very cool things from two 

of our recent graduates:



Rick Marlatt, the very first person admitted into the low 

residency and part of our inaugural graduating class, has just 

won the Seven Circle Press Chapbook contest for his first book 

of poetry, How We Fell Apart, which was written over the 

course of the last two years he was in the program. Rick was a 

screenwriting major and wrote his prize-winning book in cross-

genre courses with Matthew Zapruder and Jill Alexander 

Essbaum. For more info about Rick, visit:

Meanwhile, Jeff Girod, who also just earned his degree in 

screenwriting, was awarded the National Humor Columnist of the 

Year award by the National Society of Newspaper Columnists for 

his work each week in the Inland Empire Weekly. You can read 

more about Jeff and his award here:

Tod
