Overview
Mary Bucci Bush is a fiction writer and Hamilton College faculty member in the Department of English. She taught creative writing at Hamilton and holds degrees from the State University of New York at Buffalo (B.A.) and Syracuse University (M.A. and D.A.). She joined the Hamilton faculty around 1989.
Relevance to Research
The 1989-90 course catalog (yhm-arc-pub-cat-1989-90) lists “Mary Bush” as a member of the English department faculty alongside colleagues including Shahid Agha, John O’Neill, and William Rosenfeld. Her full entry in the faculty directory reads: “Mary E. Bush (1989) fs — Visiting Assistant Professor of English; B.A., State University of New York at Buffalo; M.A. and D.A., Syracuse University.” She is listed as teaching creative writing sections with a maximum enrollment of 16, including both fall and spring sections. The 1928 Hamilton Life file (hamilton-life-1928-02-29) does not contain a reference to Mary Bucci Bush.
Notes
The 1928 Hamilton Life file predates her by decades; no relevant mention was found there. The corpus match is solely from the 1989-90 catalog. Her faculty listing year “(1989)” indicates she joined that year as a visiting assistant professor.
