John Steinbeck Project Since
its inception in 1977, the John Steinbeck Project has raised over $142,000 for
Southampton College of Long Island University. Funds have been used to establish
a Visiting Writers Program, the annual Steinbeck Lecture, student writing awards
and scholarships, and acquisitions for the College Library.
In addition to these programs, one of the original goals of the Project was to
create a Writers Resource Room in the library in honor of John Steinbeck, the
Nobel Prize-winning author who spent the last years of his life on the East End
of Long Island. Only one year after the project was initiated, the John Steinbeck
Writers Room was opened. John
