Celebrating CIE writing and writers!
Each year from 2016-2019, the CIE program held a CIE Essay Contest. A committee of CIE faculty and Writing Fellows selected winners based on how well the submissions met the CIE writing goals:
- Construct clear, articulate, and compelling arguments and ideas.
- Develop a creative and original voice in writing.
- Show an understanding of the texts through thoughtful analysis and effective use of the readings to support their arguments and ideas.
- Explore the Core Curriculum questions in creative and meaningful ways.
