2020 - 21 Winners of the Annual Undergraduate Paper Prize

The LUC Department of Theology is pleased to announce the winners of its undergraduate paper prize competition. Three prizes were awarded to encourage publication-level work in the fields of theology and religious studies and to reward talented undergraduates who have engaged in original work in a Theology or Religious Studies class here at LUC. The three prizes were awarded according to whether the paper was submitted from a 100, 200, or 300-level course.

A selection committee appointed by The Theology Department’s Undergraduate Learning Committee (ULC) chose the winners. Each winner receives a check for $50, along with public recognition on the Theology Department’s website, and recognition at our Annual Awards Ceremony.
