From the Judges' Report
Judges singled out this entry for crisp writing and excellent storytelling – and for the range and boldness of the topics covered. These articles tackled controversial subjects that many institutions might shy away from, such as white privilege, sexual harassment, and political commentary on the current U.S. administration. At the same time, the articles were personable and readable, they provided a few fresh takes on the standard alumni profile, and they clearly communicated the college’s liberal arts mission of educating critical thinkers. One judge’s comment on this entry: “It made me want to send my children to this school.”
