Fresno State alumna Megan Anderson Bohigian has been named the City of Fresno’s fifth poet laureate, serving as the city’s literary ambassador.
Mayor Jerry Dyer swore-in Bohigian on Thursday, April 22 as part of a Fresno City Hall virtual ceremony. She becomes the University’s third alumni selected for the role, all from the College of Arts and Humanities.
Bohigian — an educator who has taught writing to people of all ages, from Fresno Unified to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute — will serve a two-year term beginning immediately.
An alumna of Fresno’s McLane High School, Bohigian earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in theater, with an emphasis in playwriting, from the California Institute of the Arts. She earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in creative writing from Fresno State in 2006.
