The 2023 recipients of the McLeod Writing Prize are Rosy Almazan from the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts for "Coerced Sterilization of Mexican Origin Women: The Marginalization of Their Rights by Rosy Almazan," and Nina Todreas from the College of Arts & Sciences for "Is it Really #bodypositive? Examining the Effectiveness of the Body Positivity Movement on TikTok."
The McLeod Writing Prize was created to encourage first-year students to begin engaging in research in the early stages of their undergraduate careers; to understand that scholarship is a creative form of expression that can reach others in real and meaningful ways; and most importantly, by fully participating in the process of research and writing, to see themselves as scholars in the making. Two prizes are awarded each year; one to a student in the College of Arts & Sciences, and one to a student in McKelvey School of Engineering, Olin Business School, or Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts.
