The competition for this award, which was organized by the Philosophy Department at West Chester University, was open to all WCU students. Each entrant had to write a paper on a topic of Applied Ethics (including Medical Ethics, Bioethics, Professional Ethics, Business Ethics, Environmental Ethics, Animal Ethics, etc.). Julia (a Mathematics major in the Pure Mathematics BS Accelerated track) won the $300 scholarship first prize by writing an applied ethics paper entitled, “Ethics of Care and the Good Life.”
