Hockenberry Internship Winner Jordan Hunt

Jordan Hunt

Wabash senior Jordan Hunt's fiction offers dead-on dialogue and stories that capture the defining moments and darker emotions of male adolescence and young adulthood without idealization or hyperbole.

On Thursday night in Wabash College's Center Hall, many students, faculty, and staff heard that fiction for the first time as Hunt presented a reading of short stories and excerpts from longer works--a summer's worth of creative writing he completed as the winner of the 2002 Hockenberry Summer Internship.

Funded by award-winning writer Dan Simmons '70 and named in honor of his classmate, Duane Hockenberry, the internship provides a stipend and room and board for a student selected by the Wabash English department to write full-time throughout the summer.
