Dr. Robert and Marilyn Sutherland Endowment for Creative Writing Fellows
Robert Sutherland retired from teaching in January 1993. He is pleased that he and his colleagues were able to establish a successful creative writing program at Illinois State and foster departmental support for literary publications. The Sutherland Fellowships are awarded to students involved with the production of publications on a daily basis, whether engaged in proofreading and preparing text, design and layout, printing preparation, or marketing and advertising. In addition, students on fellowship learn about non-profit publishing, current trends in the publishing field, and lobbying for the literary arts.
