Lake Superior University's School of English professor Jillena Rose, left, presents a framed piece by Sault photographer Jude McConkey to Ellen Airgood in honor of her receiving LSSU’s second Writing the Up Award.

Airgood, of Grand Marias, Michigan, was announced as recipient last fall but wasn’t able to make it to campus to accept until April 7.

The LSSU Writing the UP Award honours an author of fiction who has portrayed, through vivid description and believable characters, the essence of life in Michigan’s upper peninsula.

Nominations for this year’s award came from many UP residents, librarians, and the academic community in the region.

The inaugural 2013 recipient was LSSU alumna and eastern UP resident Sue Harrison.

For more information on the award, contact professor Jillena Rose at [email protected] or 906-635-2091.
