Students from all disciplines across the College submitted to the fourth annual SPACE Writing Competition, each offering their own personal interpretation of this year’s theme, Intersections. In total 50 pieces were judged by a jury of faculty—Amanda Beattie (Fine Arts), Nadim Boukhira (Physics) and Andrea Strudensky (English). Entries were evaluated according to originality and depth of thought, style, and connection to the theme.
