ROBERT J. STUCKEY ESSAY CONTEST 

We are deeply disappointed to pause this program. Members of our Friends of the Libraries judging panel are especially saddened that they will not have the opportunity to review student submissions and engage with the insightful writing this contest has inspired.

We are further grateful to Missouri educators who have supported this contest by promoting it in their classrooms and guiding students through the writing process. Your partnership has been essential to the program’s success.

We will share updates about the future of the Robert J. Stuckey Essay Contest as they become available. If you have any questions, please contact Ben Imhoff-Childers at bjimhoff@missouri.edu.
