Abhi Raghunathan '02 earned an honorable mention for his paper, "The Suicide: Two Views of Ajax."

To determine the winners of this award, faculty in humanistic studies nominate excellent papers written by their students during the year.

During the summer, a faculty group chooses the prize recipients.

This year, there were about a dozen nominations. Both Pastor and Tam said they are excited about their awards.

"I just really got into it," Tam said of her paper.
