Resident scholar receives grant by April M. Bogdanski Co&Rion Stq' Chris Dubbs, assistant professor of creative writing, has received a $5,000 grant awarded by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Fiction Fellowship. The grant is a Pennsylvania Humanities Grant, which scholars from all areas of Pennsylvania strive for each year. According to the grant proposal, the Literature Program of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts awards fellowships "to a limited number of writers of exceptional talent." Only thirteen are selected out of four hundred proposals, and Dubbs was honorably one of them. He was the only literature recipient in northwestern Pennsylvania. "Aside from giving you resources to set aside blocks of time to work on a project, grants provide deadline pressure, a very good motivator," said Dubbs. The Pennsylvania Council Award recognizes Professor Dubbs' outstanding talents. It also recognizes that he is part of Behrend's creative writing program. This has a positive effect on the Division of Humanities and Social Sciences. According to Dr. Roberta Salper, head of the division of Humanities and Social Sciences, this award enables Dubbs to have more financial flexibility and will call attention to his talent. "I am very glad that the Council has recognized Professor Dubbs' talent, and I am proud that he is a member of Behrend's faculty and of Behrend College." Amel Balcital Collegian Photographer Dubbs will be using the grant to complete a series of stories he is writing about returning World War II soldiers and the French War bride who accompanies one of them. The literary journal Sou'wester published the first story last year, and the second one will appear in the Colorado Review. "I've never before written a series of stories using the.same character. It's like writing a novel in steps," continued Dubbs. Dubbs is also the author of "Ms. Faust," a retelling of the Faustian legend in which a female executive makes a pact with the devil in exchange for a swift climb up the corporate ladder. The book has been optioned as a feature film.
