English adjunct professor Laura Lee Smith recently had one of her stories “This Trembling Earth” selected for publication in the prestigious anthology “New Stories from the South: The Year’s Best, 2010.” Smith’s story will also appear in the journal “Natural Bridge.”

The story takes place in a small town near the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia. Coping with the arrival of a newborn, colicky grandson and two older, dependent children, a family is immediately thrown into conflict and turmoil. The mother, who narrates the story, is faced with making an unsettling decision between helping her criminal son or doing what she knows is right.

From awards and cocktails to surfing and athletics, alumni weekend had something for everybody.
