The Peter S. Donaldson Prize for Excellence in Literary Studies is awarded each spring at the last Lit Tea to Literature majors who excel academically and engage participants in the literary community at MIT. Professor Jessica Ruffin read some kind words about Jason Chen’s work in Literature. Literature Co-Head, Professor Sandy Alexandre, and advisor to Kaelyn Dunnell, also spoke glowingly about her advisee, who was unable to attend.
Both awarded students are double majors, received Phi Beta Kappa honors, and defended their Literature theses before graduating this year! Congratulations Jason and Kaelyn!
