Congrats to Sarah Vallejo, the 2011 recipient of the English Department’s Virginia F. Ireys English Teaching Scholarship.

Vallejo, a senior from Antioch, has been accepted into the Teach for America New York 2011 Corps. 

She will travel to New York June 21 to begin the summer institute in preparation to begin teaching in the fall. 

Vallejo will use this scholarship to help with New York state examination fees and other costs associated with her transition to NYC. 

The focus of her winning essay was helping to close the education gap in America by serving in a high needs school – a perfect match to the Teach for America program.
