The Robert L. Carothers Distinguished Student Writers Award winners are announced! The Carothers Award was created to acknowledge Chancellor Carothers’ outstanding contributions to the Minnesota State University System, and to higher education in Minnesota, by providing a way to highlight the work of student writers at Minnesota’s state universities. This endowment provides one student at each of the state universities a $500 award in the spring of each year. State Universities are responsible for the process of choosing their recipient and providing the name of their recipient to Students United.
