Howard Kurtz, assistant professor in the Department of Theater, is the subject of a feature article in The Mason Gazette. While working on his Fenwick Fellowship, Kurtz and his student research assistant, Charity Beth Long, developed a resource guide, “The Costume Designer’s Guide to Historical Resources,” that is now available at the Fenwick Library. The two also ordered more than 50 books on costume design and fashion that will be added to the library’s collection.

The Fenwick Fellowship is awarded annually to instructional faculty members to pursue a research project that utilizes the libraries’ resources and advances knowledge in the field. The award includes a research office in Fenwick Library and an award of $1,750 to support the research.
