Latest happenings in the GWU English Department


July 16th, 2007

The English Department cordially welcomes Steven Knapp as the new president of the George Washington University.

In case any readers need further proof of the many jobs open to English majors, we would like to point out that President Knapp is a scholar well published in both literature and critical theory. We also find it appropriate that his new house at 1925 F Street recently had a statue of the raven from Edgar Allen Poe’s poem placed upon the property. To those who like to declare that English majors will not someday rule the world (or at least the university), we answer “Nevermore!”
