Summer Programs For High School StudentsNew York City

Currently a Ph.D. student in the English and Comparative Literature Department at Columbia, Audrey Walton received her B.A. (2002) and her M.T.S. (2008) from Harvard University, where she studied creative writing, medieval literature, and medieval religion. She is the recipient of a Marjorie Hope Nicolson fellowship from Columbia and is currently an instructor in Columbia's University Writing program. In addition to producing a number of websites and publicity campaigns as a freelance writer, she has also recently published two scholarly articles, both of which focus on reading practices in the Middle Ages. Before beginning her Ph.D., she worked with secondary school students for many years, first as an instructor and then as the director of tutoring and summer programs for college-bound students.  She is delighted to be returning to work with high school students this summer.
