Ella Gaspar, of Redding, was named the recipient of The Dean Alfange Essay Prize at Hamilton College's annual Class & Charter Day, held on May 10. Established in 1950, the event combines the traditional Class Day celebrating the end of classes with a commemoration of the granting of College's charter on May 26, 1812.
The Dean Alfange Essay Prizes are awarded to the students who write the best and second-best essays on a feature or an issue of American constitutional government.
Gaspar, a senior majoring in public policy, is a graduate of Joel Barlow High School.
