The Center’s programming and events are focused on engaging the campus community and off-campus constituents in programming to advance the core values of the Huntingdon experience. The College’s emphasis on ethics and character will serve as a guiding principle for judging in the Light the Way competition.

A $250 cash prize will be awarded to the winner, and a privately printed chapbook of the winning work will be produced in a limited quantity.
