Writing Studies Faculty Twice-Honored for Outstanding Writing

Writing Studies faculty member, Jaclyn Fiscus-Cannaday, has received two honors from the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC). The first is the 2026 CCCC Richard Braddock Award for, “Contextualizing Reflective Writing for Creating Change: A Cross-Institutional Case Study of First-Year Students’ Reflections,” published in the December 2025 issue of College Composition and Communication and coauthored with Lillian Campbell and Jennifer E. Eidum. This award is presented to the author of the outstanding article on writing or the teaching of writing in the CCCC journal, College Composition and Communication, during the year before the CCCC Annual Convention. 

She also received an Honorable Mention for the 2026 CCCC Outstanding Book Award in the Monograph category for Reflection-in-Motion: Reimagining Reflection in the Writing Classroom. This award honors books within the field of composition and rhetoric. Single and multiple authored books, as well as edited volumes, are evaluated for scholarship and research in the areas of pedagogy, practice, history, and theory that have informed the work of past award recipients.

Fiscus-Cannaday will be announced as a recipient of both awards during the CCCC Awards Presentation on Friday, March 6, during the 2026 CCCC Annual Convention in Cleveland, Ohio. She joined the Department of Writing Studies in Fall 2024.
