Amanda Sigler is a senior English and German major pursuing a certificate in political philosophy. Her current TURC/honors project involves researching the papers of James Joyce's biographer Richard Ellmann in McFarlin Library Special Collections. Assessing the ways in which Ellmann acts as a veil between Joyce and the reader, she asks to what extent the archive may provide a means to remove that veil. As a result of earlier research, she presented a paper on Finnegan’s Wake at the 2003 North American James Joyce Conference, and will be presenting her current work on the Ellmann archive at the International James Joyce Symposium in Dublin this summer (2004). In the fall of 2002, Amanda studied abroad in Salzburg, Austria. In the summer of 2003, she was one of 15 students selected nationwide to intern at the National Endowment for the Humanities in Washington, D.C. She was a semi-finalist for the Mellon this year. Amanda was named to Phi Beta Kappa and was the Outstanding Senior in the German Program. She also received the Norman Award for Greek Composition, the Kimberly Hanger Award in the Department of History, and the Chair’s Prize for Outstanding Achievement in English Studies. She will attend the University of Virginia, supported by a FKF fellowship. She writes, “If I have been successful, it is in no small part due to the wonderful guidance and support I have received at The University of Tulsa. I am very grateful for the opportunities I have had here, and for those who have helped me realize my dreams.” Melissa Tibbits, a senior majoring in anthropology and psychology, became involved in the TURC program in December of 2002.

In May of 2004 Melissa will also be initiated into Phi Beta Kappa. In recognition of her accomplishments, Melissa was named Outstanding Senior in Psychology and received the Susan Danowski Whalen Memorial Award in the Anthropology department.
