Chaminade sponsors "Creating Peace" essay contest

Advertiser Staff

Hawai'i college students can enter an essay contest, "Creating Peace Across Boundaries," until Jan. 2. The winning essay awards, which include cash prizes, will be held Feb. 3 at the Ching Conference Center, second floor of Eiben Hall, Chaminade University, 3140 Waialae Ave.

The essay should be a collaborative work by a team of two students, one male and one female, each of a different ethnic and religious background. The objective is to create a deeper understanding of peace across culture, gender and religion.

Judges will be Roger Ames of University of Hawai'i at Manoa, Pierre Asselin of Chaminade University and Tracey Wiltgen of The Mediation Center of the Pacific.
