    Award-winning poet and critic Dana Gioia served as the ninth chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts and was praised for his innovative community-focused programs. He created programs such as Shakespeare in American Communities, Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience, NEA Jazz Masters and Poetry Out Loud. Gioia’s book of poems, "Interrogations at Noon," won the American Book Award, and his 1991 volume, "Can Poetry Matter?" was a finalist for the National Book Critics' Circle Award. This month, Gioia was awarded the University of Notre Dame’s 2010 Laetare Medal, the oldest and most prestigious honor given to American Catholics.
