Win an iPad! Essays are due by Wednesday, February 29, 2012, 5 pm. Late entries will not be accepted!The essay contest is sponsored by the Friends of the SWC Library and is for currently enrolled SWC students. The prize for the winner is an iPad.
The essay prompt is based on this year’s College Book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. Copies of the College Book are available for check out at the SWC Library.
Here is the essay prompt:
Should Henrietta’s family be financially compensated for the HeLa cells? Why or why not? If yes, who do you believe the money should come from?
Please note that only original submissions that are the student’s own work will be considered.
Essays must be in English, no more than three pages, and submitted by email to essaycontest@swccd.edu before 5 p.m. on Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Late entries will not be accepted! A separate page (not counted in the three maximum) must give the student’s name, SWC ID number, email address, and telephone number. This page will be separated from the essay and a code will be assigned to it so the judges will not know the identity of the student. No identifiers (name, ID number, etc.) are to appear in the essay itself.
Questions? Contact Diane Gustafson in the Library at (619) 482-6433 or dgustafson@swccd.edu.
