Director of Disability Support Services and Assistant Professor Jack Trammell, Ph.D. |
Professor Jack Trammell, Ph.D., has won the Virginia Writer’s Club award for non-fiction. Trammell’s “Reflections of a Southern Gentleman Farmer” is a collection of vignettes about life with his wife and children on his small farm in Louisa County. “These stories are the fabric of my life,” says Trammell.
The Virginia Writer’s Club (VWC) is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious organization of its kind. The Club sponsors yearly awards for Virginia writers, and each award includes a certificate and a cash prize. The VWC award represents the best of the best; “Reflections” first received regional recognition before being lauded with the esteemed statewide award.
In 2006 Trammell won the VWC award for poetry. “I am really surprised and pleased by both of these successes. These are particularly meaningful to me,” he says.
Trammell, who has been at Randolph-Macon since 2000, is the director of disability support services and an assistant professor.
