Once again the Friends of the SWC Library are sponsoring an essay contest for currently enrolled SWC students. There will be two prizes of $250 each. The essay prompt is based on this year’s College Book, The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch.
Here is the essay prompt:
In The Last Lecture, Randy Pausch is critical of our educational system. What does he identify as a key factor? Do you agree or disagree? Support your answer from your own experience.
Please note that only original submissions that are the student's own work will be considered. Please do not research or use any sources other than The Last Lecture. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in disqualification.
Essays must be no more than three pages and submitted electronically to essaycontest@swccd.edu before 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 3, 2010. Late entries will not be accepted! A separate page (not counted in the three maximum) must give the student’s name, SWC ID #, email address, and telephone number. This page will be separated from the essay and a code assigned to the essay so the judges will not know the identity of the student. No identifiers (name, ID #, etc.) are to appear in the essay itself.
Prizes will be given at the Student Awards Ceremony in May.
Questions? Contact Diane Gustafson at 482-6433 or dgustafson@swccd.edu
