Hiram College

Hands-on experiences are at the helm of a Hiram College education. This can come in many forms, one of them being students conducting and research projects and then being tasked with presenting their work. In early November, animal-care and husbandry student-workers from the James H. Barrow Biological Field Station joined Hiram's Curator of Animal Programs, Rebecca Moore, at the Ohio Wildlife Rehabilitation Association's conference in Columbus, Ohio.

Five Hiram students placed in the Echo Student Literary Competition. Each year, students currently enrolled at Bethany College, Heidelberg University, Hiram College Marietta College, University of Mount Union, and Muskingum University are encouraged to participate and be judged in three categories: poetry, short fiction, and creative nonfiction.

Hiram College hosted an Evening of Hiram Writers where talented student writers read their fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry. Selected winners from the Barbara Thompson Award for Short Fiction, Lindsay-Crane Contest in Creative Nonfiction, and the Vachel Lindsay Poetry Contest shared excerpts from their awarded work.
