Lizzy Swiderski

I am graduate of the M.A. Writing Studies program, and I am a first time DOG volunteer. As a proud Hawk, I am always excited to connect with alumni not just from my program, but other SJU alumni!

"I give back because I want both current and future Hawks to have the same opportunities I had to build deep, meaningful relationships with their peers, professors, and mentors. Attending the M.A. Writing Studies program as a new writer was a privilege, and I feel a strong desire to pass the baton to emerging writers, just as I once was. My hope is that they leave with the confidence to step into the real world and apply the skills they develop at SJU."
