Duncan W. Robinson (1905-1983) was a longtime professor of English at the University of Texas at Arlington and a noted authority on Southwest literature and Mark Twain. Robinson first joined the faculty in 1928 when the university was known as the North Texas Agricultural College. He served as chair of the English department, as a sponsor of the student newspaper, and as chairman of the UTA historical and archives committee. This award for exemplary writing in the First-Year Writing program honors his legacy. A judging committee selected from instructors in the program evaluates synthesis essays from 1301 and Research Position Papers in 1302. The first and second place winners receive a monetary award.
All UTA students enrolled in ENGL 1301 and ENGL 1302 during fall 2018 and spring 2019 are eligible to submit work for the contest. We also accept Synthesis and RPP essays from spring 2018. The deadline for submission is April 13, 2019.
