CEE Student Essay Contest Winners
During the spring 2009 semester CEE sponsored a contest for the best essays in the Business and Economic Ethics course on the following topic: “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”—True or False? The essays were judged on the basis of their thoroughness, cohesiveness, and originality.
The two first-prize winners were Naomi Byars and Jennifer LaSarre, who received $300 each.
Here are the essays of the two first-prize winners (both essays are in PDF format):
Naomi Byars – “The Corruption Triangle” [pdf]
Jennifer LaSarre – “Power, Privilege, and Political Entrepreneurs in America” [pdf]
In addition three Honorable Mentions were awarded to Kathreen Atkerson, Seth Kryder, and Brittney Leach, who received $100 each. Congratulations to our five winners for their excellent work!
