2018 Peep-O-Rama
Deadra Miller, staff writer
Peep-o-Rama 2018 had edible ways to educate students and faculty about people’s favorite books. Jennifer Koster, professor of English and Writing Center coordinator, hosted this event with the Creative Writing club at PVCC. Each Spring semester, people create Peep dioramas that represent a book. While most of the books are fiction, sometimes the Peep-o-Ramas depict a nonfiction work as well.
The first entry was “Romeo and Juliapeep,” by Andrea Williams. Two Don Quixote entries were on display, one of which was done by the Student Success Office and the other by Jessica Amos. The final Peep-o-Rama was submitted by Adjunct Assistant Professor of Sociology Brian Robbins and Associate Professor of English Dr. Tamara Whyte and depicted The Descent of Peeps.
While perusing the contestants’ entries to the competition, Sylvia Dowell, the scholarship and alumni association coordinator, said, “I’ll beat a fool to eat a peep.”
At the end of the day, “Romeo and Juliapeep” won the 2018 title for best Peep-o-Rama. The Student Success Office won for the office division of the competition, Robbins and Whyte won second place, and Amos won honorable mention for their entries this year.
All four Peep-o-Ramas that were entered were creative and cute this year. Next year, Koster hopes to have a bigger response and even better Peep-o-Ramas.
