His scholarship focused on the history of rhetoric, technology studies, and gender identity. Alex had received a Syracuse University fellowship to the Composition and Cultural Rhetoric Program and was attending that program when he died. In order to qualify as recipients, students will submit a letter of application stating their academic and career goals and interests in these areas of study. Students will also submit a writing sample from rhetoric coursework that exemplifies their writing and thinking skills in one or more of these areas. These papers will be read by members of the Rhetoric Area faculty and perhaps by Alex's parents.
