I am grateful to everyone who supported the essay contest this year by encouraging students to submit papers. Fourteen essays were submitted and the judges had a lively debate over which essays merited top honors. I would like to thank Dr. Corri Carvalho, Father Steven McMichael, Dr. Sue Myers and Dr. Paul Wojda for judging the essays this year.
