The above quote is from Gina Grubbs Funk (Class of 1988 AM). Read the full memory below:

As a graduate student entering the Creative Writing program in 1986, I felt so out of place at first. It was hard being a “southern girl” in the world of Brown and Providence. My first point of reference was the library, and I spent many happy days there in study, research and writing. Later, I got my “sea legs” and felt a part of everything at Brown and Providence at large, but the library was always a dear refuge. Happy Birthday, Rock! Gina Funk, A.M. Creative Writing, 1988 P.S. I worked for a period at the Hay!
