Robert Sapunarich presented a scholarly paper on Calvinism and Moby Dick titled, Grace in the Maelstrom, Saturday, November 2 at the Pacific Ancient Modern Language Association conference in Riverside. He presented with fellow student Tara Anderson, who won last year's President's Award for Excellence in Writing for her paper, In Between the Mountaintops: A Look at Langston Hughes’ ‘Christ in Alabama.’ Sapunarich was first runner up in the same competition for the above mentioned essay.
Sapunarich is an Alpha Tau member and presented wonderfully at the conference attended by Ph.D's, M.A's, graduate students, and undergraduate students. Both Sapunarich and Anderson represented CBU academically, holding their ground amongst leaders in the field. I can only speculate at possible nervousness, but each answered questions and fostered discussion with around 15 people in attendance. Dr. Lu chaired the session and Dr. Veltman presented a paper as well. Dr. Veltman read an essay on teaching Flannery O'Connor in a Christian institution. The paper explored O'Connor's secular and religious audiences with success often times coming from the former of the two. Alpha Tau is proud of the accomplishments Sapunarich and Anderson accomplished and is delighted to sing their praises. Way to represent CBU and Alpha Tau Sigma, Robert!
