This month, five students were recognized with the First-Year Seminar Writing Prize for essays they wrote in their first-year seminars throughout 2020. A total of 137 first-year students submitted to the contest this year.
Each winner will receive a $100 prize, and each honorable mention will receive a $50 prize. These students will have their work published online along with an audio recording of them reading their essays aloud.
The First-Year Seminar Writing Prize celebrates the work of first-year writers at Wesleyan.
The three winners are:
Nathan Foote ’24, for “Anti-Gospel,” written for Anne Greene’s Place, Character, and Design.
Gissel Ramirez ’24, for “Gissel Not Giselle: Language as an Identity,” written for Lauren Silber’s Why You Can’t Write.
