"Creative Solutions" Competition Alumnus Endows Prize

Howard Rudge, JD '64, retired Senior Vice President of DuPont Corporation, recently endowed GW Law with a generous gift of $150,000 following the inaugural Howard Rudge "Creative Solutions" Competition. The competition called for papers highlighting a creative solution to a serious societal problem in the United States for which conventional solutions were failing. Caitlin Clarke, JD '13, won this year’s $5,000 prize after submitting a paper on reducing youth unemployment. This endowment will help ensure that the Rudge Prize continues in perpetuity and the amount of the prize grows with the endowment in years to come.
