Additionally, some ELWS alum have completed their journeys toward graduate and professional degrees.
- Scott Koski completed his PhD in English Literature at St. John’s University. Koski’s dissertation moves past the familiar literary setting of Shakespeare and the Globe Theater to explore the intricate, imaginative, and sometimes seedy authorial byways of late Elizabethan London, with special attention to the prose pamphlets of Robert Greene, Thomas Nashe, and their nemesis Gabriel Harvey.
- Charlie Johnson has completed their J.D. with a certificate in Conflict Resolution Theory in Practice from Mitchell Hamline School of Law.
