Maurice Undergraduate Initiative Prize Winners
The Maurice Undergraduate Initiative Prize Competition is designed to challenge students to use their own creativity and innovation in solving a problem of importance to them, therefore deepening their breadth of knowledge about themselves and their abilities.
The annual competition--open to Western Oregon University undergraduate students--is judged by a committee comprised of faculty, staff, and students, and results in a prize of $5,000 to the individual winner or team who has demonstrated the deepest learning and problem solving. Student participants will plan and execute a strategy to address their issue while applying their own knowledge, creative use of resources, and the ability to work with others to find solutions. All finalists are invited to make their projects available online for others to view.
