We’re excited to announce the winners of the 2025–2026 Maguire Ethics Essay Prize! This year’s prompt invited SMU students to consider when silence is an act of care, when it becomes complicity, and what we owe to others when it matters most.

The Maguire Ethics Essay Prize also serves as a pathway to national recognition. This year, select undergraduate winners were sponsored for submission to the Elie Wiesel Prize in Ethics, a highly competitive national contest that brings together top student essays from universities across the country. Undergraduate essays will be published following the conclusion of the Elie Wiesel judging process.

Explore this year’s graduate division winning essays, along with selections from previous years: https://www.smu.edu/provost/ethics/studentengagement/essayprize
