Essay Prompt

Provide the selection committee with an essay of no more than 700 words that addresses the following statement:

During my years at Stonehill, I have epitomized Lambda Epsilon Sigma's ideals of an excitement about growing in knowledge and the sharing of that knowledge.

The essay is used to provide the committee with an indication of your thought processes and your writing ability. As such, it will be judged on its structure, organization, creativity, and content. In the past, the committee has been particularly impressed by submissions that demonstrate clear and effective communication and unimpressed by submissions that simply present a chronological summary of activity at Stonehill. Because this is a very important factor in the committee's decision-making process, we encourage you to spend a good amount of time in the organization and presentation of your essay.

Application Form

The application form will be available between Thursday, December 21, 2023 through Friday, January 12, 2024 at 11:59 p.m.
