Each year, the Office of Undergraduate Studies and Messina sponsor a Common Text essay contest for the newest members of the Loyola community. The contest will also include a creative expression category.

The two first prize winners will each receive a check for $300. 3-4 students will also receive Honorable Mention prizes of $100.

To be eligible, please submit an original essay or creative expression entry based on the prompts no later than midnight on August 7, 2025. We will recognize and celebrate the winners during Fall Welcome Weekend. Only one submission per person will be accepted.
