The U.S. Naval War College has announced the winners of its 2019-2020 writing awards.
Competition was fierce. A total of 138 students submitted 240 papers for consideration, and 79 faculty members participated in the judging.
Dean of Academics Phil Haun said that special commendation goes to students who wrote their award-winning papers in the spring, when students were asked to take classes and work from home amid the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The academic rigor of the Naval War College is in large part measured by the quality of the writing assignments submitted by our students for their academic core and elective courses,” Haun said.
“Writing equals thinking, and as Adm. Scott Swift once said, ‘Thinking is hard, and hard is authorized.’ The writing awards highlight the achievements of our most gifted critical and strategic thinkers,” he said.
The winning papers will be entered into the Defense Technical Information Center database to be made digitally available to future scholars and military students who can build upon the research presented this year. A number of these papers usually go on to be published in military and other scholarly journals.
