Congratulations to the following winners and runner-ups of the 2020 Thomas R. Keating competition. Since the pandemic prevented us from hosting a two-day, in-person competition, the foundation board decided to hold a “re-imagined” competition. Students were encouraged to submit their best published writing on the past year’s most pressing topics: the pandemic, social justice, the election or campus news. Students were allowed to enter in multiple categories. Winners will receive $1,000 each. Runner-ups will receive $500 each.
