SMP Spotlight

Megan Anderson, "That Which Remains: The Interplay of Memory and Fiction in Holocaust Remembrance," 2011.

"My St. Mary's Project was truly the culminating experience for my undergraduate years.  The process brought me full circle; I was able to take a piece of literature I had read in my very first semester and keep discussing and applying theory to it in my last.  My SMP proved to me that I could sustain great ideas and discipline myself, even when I was discouraged.  Working so closely with my SMP mentor, Christine Adams, was really valuable, offering a one-on-one environment that I had never had with my regular classes.  I came away from my project knowing more about my topic than I thought I ever would -- and I still love it!"
