The Harvard GlobalWE Board members and essay contest managers read over all submissions and vote on the winning essay by year and school or region. In its selection criteria, Harvard GlobalWE does not advocate a specific ideology or agenda.
Harvard GlobalWE has published 99 winning essays from our Essay Contest from the past five years in a coffee table book.
