"I
also
had
the
opportunity

give
a
paper

a
George
Washington
University
graduate
symposium
and
had
a
poem
and
a

accepted

Paying
BW
support
forward
Campeotto
is
grateful
for
the
lasting
support
she
has
had
from
the
BW
community,
which
has
extended
beyond
her
time
as
an
undergraduate.
"The
faculty
in
the
English
department
in
particular
has
always
been
willing
to
go
out
of
their
way
to
give
me
all
of
the
support,
encouragement
and
advice
I
needed,"
Campeotto
shared,
"for
everything
from
pushing
forward
both
my
creative
and
academic
work
to
presenting
at
conferences
to
applying
to
graduate
school
to
writing
a
syllabus
for
the
first
time.
"It's
my
hope
that
I
can
give
my
students
even
a
fraction
of
what
they
have
given
me,"
Campeotto
said.
