English major Will Porter has racked up another prize – this one for an essay he delivered in Pittsburgh at the 2011 convention of Sigma Tau Delta, the international English honor society (March 23-26).
Will’s essay on Walt Whitman’s Song of Myself took second place in the “Critical American Literature” category.
Back in November, Will won the Dante Prize for “best essay submitted by an undergraduate in any American or Canadian college or university,” awarded by the Dante Society of America.
