New MacLauchlan Prize for Effective Writing hopes to inspire culture of writers at the University of New Brunswick

Posted on 2025-03-28 by Aidan Keenan Posted in News

Starting in the winter semesters of 2025, the University of New Brunswick unveiled its new MacLauchlan Prize for Effective Writing, awarded to one student in each of UNB’s fourteen faculties. The prize is worth $1000 and hopes to support students both financially and emotionally, by encouraging submissions from students who might go under appreciated by similar awards. UNB Chancellor Wade MacLauchlan, who the prize was named after, noted that the prize is meant to recognize “effectiveness” rather than “excellence.” In this way, Chancellor MacLauchlan hopes that it will inspire a wider range of UNB students, with the goal of fostering a long lasting and universal culture of writers at the university. Submissions to the prize remain open until April 1, 2025.
