Announcing the Winners of the Spring 2021 Writing Contests
Congratulations to the winners of the Spring 2021 Writing Contests!
The judging was especially competitive this year because there were so many excellent entries, but the judges have finally made their selections. All entries were judged "blind," without any names or identifying information. All entries were read by at least two judges.
We are excited to announces larger awards this year.
First Place designations are awarded $700.
Second Place designations are awarded $500.
Third Place designations are awarded $300.
All awards will be credited to student accounts. (And you can request a check through the Bursar's office, if there is a balance in your account.)
Without further delay, the award recipients are....
