The Writers Guild of America East Foundation named Hailey O'Brien, a senior at Wayne State University studying film and psychology, to receive its Michael Collyer Memorial Fellowship in Screenwriting. O'Brien's fellowship project, "Losing Grace," is about one woman's struggle and search for penance after an accidental drowning of a young neighbor while in her care. Wayne State is among eight universities and colleges across the country that participated in this year's Collyer Fellowship nominating process.
