The 25th Zale-Kimmerling
Writer-in-Residence

Please join us March 14-20 as we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Zale Writer-in-Residence Program and inauguration of the Zale-Kimmerling Writer-in-Residence Program with Amy Hempel

Amy Hempel was born in Chicago in 1951. She lived in Denver and San Francisco before moving to New York to work in publishing. With the publication of her first book of short stories, Reasons to Live (Knopf, 1985), Amy Hempel earned a reputation in the vanguard of American short story writers. One of the stories from that collection, “In the Cemetery Where Al Jolson is Buried,” is one of the most extensively anthologized stories of the last quarter century. Her three succeeding collections, At the Gates of The Animal Kingdom (Knopf, 1990); Tumble Home (Scribner, 1997) and The Dog of the Marriage (Scribner, 2005) received rave reviews and increased her stature as a writer of short fiction.

March 19 Deadline For 2010 Emily Schoenbaum Community Development Grants Program

The Emily Schoenbaum Community Development Grants Program is designed to support projects that enhance community development through efforts that improve the well-being of women and girls. Grants will support pilot or demonstration projects, particularly those projects that document/evaluate the effects of their projects on individual and community change. Applications must include an evaluation component that documents the effects of the project on women/girls. In fact, the grant application may include funding to support the research component of the pilot intervention. If the organization applying for the grant does not have the capacity to develop an evaluation plan, the Newcomb College Center for Research on Women may provide assistance to develop the evaluation component of the proposal.   

Grant applications may request up to $1500 in funding. Applicants are expected to write a project completion report that will be posted on the Newcomb College Center for Research on Women’s website. A format for this report is provided with the letter of award.

The Emily Schoenbaum Program was founded in 1999 by Emily Schoenbaum, a 1988 graduate of Newcomb College and is administered by the Newcomb College Center for Research on Women.
