MIT Program in Writing and Humanistic Studies: Writing Prizes
The MIT Writing Prizes, awarded annually by the Program in Writing and Humanistic Studies, have been renamed the Ilona Karmel Writing Prizes, in honor of retiring Senior Lecturer Ilona Karmel. For many years, Karmel has made outstanding contributions to creative writing at MIT, particularly her inspirational teaching and relationships with students. Karmel is the author of the novels Stefania, and An Estate of Memory.
Books of each year's winning entries are available for reference in the Writing and Humanistic Studies headquarters, 14E-303. They are not available for loan.
