The Manson Essay contest is one of the most celebrated MCI traditions, as students pick a topic of their choice to produce a comprehensive research paper and speech, which a select few get to share with our MCI community on the annual Manson Essay Night. Congratulations to Caleigh Chase and Claire Hands, who were chosen as Manson Essayist and Manson Essayist Runner-Up respectively, and thank you to all of our finalists who help make this timeless tradition a reality!
