The State University of New York recognized Leigh Wilson as a Distinguished Service Professor, one of the SUNY system’s highest honors.
In addition to being an award-winning fiction writer, highly regarded teacher and chair of Oswego’s English and creative writing department, Wilson also directs the college’s creative writing program, campus-wide Grand Challenge’s Fresh Water for All initiative, the Digital Oz storytelling project and, until recently, the Interdisciplinary Programs and Activities Center.
