LAS CRUCES - Connie Voisine, New Mexico State University English professor and Creative Writing director, has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship.
The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation was created in 1925 by U.S. Sen. Simon Guggenheim and Olga Guggenheim in memory of their son, John Simon Guggenheim. The Foundation offers fellowships to individuals who exceed in scholarship as artists, writers, scientists, historians and scholars in a variety of disciplines to assist them in furthering their work.
“I didn’t believe it at first,” Voisine said. “I’m thrilled. It’s a wonderful opportunity and it will definitely help me get some more time to write.”
