Winning Essays
[Top half of this page is copied from existing Winning Essays page. Should we edit text in this first paragraph?… maybe include description first?] GlobalWE Board members and essay contest managers read over all submissions and vote on the winning essay by year and school or region. In its selection criteria, GlobalWE does not advocate a specific ideology or agenda.

GlobalWE has published 99 winning essays from our Essay Contest from the past five years [we should list the years here, since it’s likely beyond the past 5 years now] in a coffee table book. We are excited to announce that a limited number of books are available to share with individuals who donate $99 or more (for 99 essays!) to Harvard GlobalWE. Donate today to receive a copy of the book. Take a look at the essay contest book here. Please visit our Donate page to make a contribution and receive a copy of the book.
