Le Moyne Student Newhouse Award Winners Announced
The Newhouse Writing Awards honor the best writing by student authors in multiple genres with a prize of $325 each – the largest amount ever. Each winning title was selected by a judge who is an expert in his/her field, through a blind judging process.
