Janice Harrington, professor of English in the Creative Writing Program, has been inducted into the Alabama Writers Hall of Fame.

The Hall of Fame, a partnership between the Alabama Writers’ Forum and the Alabama Center for the Book at the University of Alabama, celebrates writers from the state who have earned national and international recognition for their literary works.

Harrington was among eight members of the Hall of Fame’s sixth class, which included former poet laureate Joy Harjo. The inductees were honored in a ceremony held at the University of Alabama on March 7, 2025.
