Lunsford Honorees for Spring 2020, Summer 2020, Fall 2020, Winter 2021, Spring 2021, and Summer 2021

From Spring 2020 through Summer 2021, all PWR 2 courses were taught online in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Typically, Lunsford award honorees would present in front of a live audience and two winners would be selected. Delivering and recording an oral presentation in an online environment provides both new challenges but also new possibilities, and we saw a range of creative and powerful responses to oral presentation research during our six quarters online. We've created a gallery of Spring/Summer 2020 honoreesFall 2020 honorees, Winter 2021 honorees, and Spring/Summer 2021 honorees, featuring the exemplary work that students produced in their fully online environments.
