Inauguration Day highlight on Amanda Gorman (CRF Juror) in The New York Times. Yesterday, Amanda Gorman became the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history with her reading of “The Hill We Climb.” Watch her recitation and read about her process and the significance behind her words.

“Amanda was an ideal juror; she came extremely well-prepared, she was articulate and enthusiastic, and she spoke up for the candidates she believed in– those she believed would benefit most from the residency experience.” – Hope Campbell Gustafson (Senior Program Associate at Civitella) on working with Gorman as a Literature Juror in our fellowship process.
