The Office of Liberal Education and Howe Center for Writing Excellence invite you to enter a composition contest that we are co-sponsoring in conjunction with this year's summer reading.
We invite projects from first-year students on ways your school experiences and learning goals align with, differ from, augment, and/or challenge those represented in the 2009 Summer Reading, Taylor Mali's What Learning Leaves.
Submit entries at this website.
Three $100 prizes in each of three categories.
Personal Compositions Works describing events in your life, perhaps involving some analysis as well.
Analytical Compositions Pieces that analyze Mali's and/or other texts.
You Name It Fiction, poetry, etc.
