Thursday, Oct. 19, William & Mary Scholar Shawna Alston ’25 presented her writing project “Gone Away Somewhere (Be Back Soon)” in the Tucker Hall Theater. Alston’s project was funded by the College English department’s Concord Traveling Scholarship for Creative Writers, which provided $3,000 for her to travel and write about her experiences. The Concord Scholarship is named after a quote from “Walden” by Henry David Thoreau.
