Dunn, Thomas E. Fund for Creative Writing
The Thomas E. Dunn Fund for Creative Writing was founded in 2006 by a gift from Thomas E. Dunn. Mr. Dunn earned his bachelor of arts degree in English from The University of Akron in 1993. After graduation, Mr. Dunn co-founded Salient Concepts LLC, a custom software development and integration company headquartered in Delaware, Ohio.
The Thomas E. Dunn Fund for Creative Writing brings diverse authors to The University of Akron campus for a lecture/seminar in creative writing. Lecturers are selected by the Department of English Lectureship Committee on which Mr. Dunn will serve as an honorary member. If a lecturer for creative writing is unavailable, the Department of English may use the fund to benefit graduate students attending The University of Akron who are seeking a master's in fine arts in creative writing as part of the Northeast Ohio University Consortium.
