Ms. Barron addressed the need of colleges and universities to divest from weapons makers who promote war instead of peace thru funding and lobbying Congresspersons to support belligerent US foreign wars. By so doing, institutions of higher education would also be more consistent with the values they are they are charged with instilling in future American leaders.
Ms. Barron received $1,000 for her winning entry. Ms. Viana and Ms. Mosqueda received $200 and $100, respectively.
