to aid victims of hurricane
Yale College senior Sarah Stillman announced at the reception for winners of the Elie Wiesel 2005 Prize in Ethics Essay Contest that she would donate her $5,000 First Place Award to victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Foundation president and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel announced that for her "magnificent gesture of compassion and generosity," the foundation board would match her contribution.
The Washington, D.C., native received the prize for her essay, "Made by Us: Young Women, Sweatshops and the Ethics of Globalization," which was chosen from hundreds of submissions by students representing 200 colleges and universities throughout the country.
