PROFESSOR Emerita Cristina Pantoja-Hidalgo will step down as director of the UST Center for Creative Writing and Literary Studies (CCWLS) on July 31 after 14 years at the helm.
Following a two-year stint as USTPH director, Hidalgo was appointed director of the CCWLS.
“In 2012, I was given instructions to revive the Center for Creative Writing.
Under Hidalgo’s leadership, the center established six flagship programs, including the UST National Writing Fellowship and “TOMÁS,” its biannual peer-reviewed literary journal.
Resident fellows of the CCWLS designed UST’s creative writing program, which was launched by the Faculty of Arts and Letters in 2018.
