Six Brown Graduates won Pulitzer Prizes this year alone:
Daveed Diggs '04, Alissa J. Rubin '80, Peter Balakian '80 PhD, Kathryn Schulz '96, Stephen Karam '02 and Michael Corkery '97.

From Wiki:

Alumni authors take their degrees across the spectrum of degree concentrations, but a gauge of the strength of writing at Brown is the number of major national writing prizes won.
