Edward Edelman and Susanne Popper-Edelman
English Essay Prizes
The English Department gives these prizes
for outstanding essays written in undergraduate English courses.
Established in 1999, the prizes were at first
simply called the English Essay Prizes, but in May 2002, they
were renamed in remembrance of Professor Susanne Popper-Edelman,
for her many years of dedication to the English Department
and to the teaching of Brooklyn Campus students. In December
2002, the prizes were again renamed also to honor her husband,
Professor Edward Edelman.
The Department awards the prizes at the end
of each spring semester for essays written during the previous
academic year (i.e., the current spring semester and the previous
fall semester and summer sessions). All essays must be typed
and free of written comments or grades. The name of the student
and his/her instructor should be on the cover sheet but not
on the essay itself. A student may not submit more than one
essay in each category. A student may submit to more
than one category, but each student can win only one prize.
Watch the English Department blog (The
Longest Island) for the next call for entries and
the announcement of this year's winners.

Maria McGarrity.
