Congratulations to Virginia Murr (Rockford College class of 2006) for her First-Prize-winning essay in the FreedomWorks entrepreneur essay contest. Virginia was in the college’s rigorous honors program and a philosophy major, and since graduating she is developing her own writing career. Even better, especially for me, is the theme of her winning essay: Dr. Stephen Hicks: Cultivator of the Entrepreneurial Spirit [pdf]. Thank you, Virginia.
The essay is also online at the FreedomWorks site [pdf].
Virginia is also the author of a fine (and disturbing) essay on Sayyid Qutb [pdf], author of Milestones and philosopher of radical politicized Islam.
(Interesting contrast of subjects there.)
