Daniel Whittaker-Van Dusen Prize for Emerging Poets

The Daniel Whittaker-Van Dusen Prize for Emerging Poets is available campus-wide for students whose work explores, provokes, and challenges readers' understanding of the world. The prize was established in memory of Daniel, a philosophy graduate who wrote poetry that explored the absurdities of life in a precise and unafraid voice, Dan’s parents, Sheelagh Whittaker and Michael Van Dusen, both graduated from York University's Schulich School of Business in 1975. Recipients will receive a copy of Philosoflying, Dan’s first and only published work of poetry, while supply allows.
