Students will get the opportunity to share their perspectives from each of the Winter/Spring 2022 lectures and win up to a $500 scholarship award from Park. After each lecture, the top three submissions will be selected, with the winner earning a $500 scholarship award, second place getting $250 and $100 going to the third-place winner.
