If drawing and design isn’t for you, there is a writing contest for students too. The Scott Wright Student Essay Contest honors a past editor of Community College Week. Student authors are to describe a faculty member, staff member or administrator who encouraged them to complete a course, finish a semester, or graduate from college and how that encouragement helped them reach their goal. Three winning student authors will receive $1000, airfare, three nights lodging and a complimentary registration to attend NISOD’s 2017 conference in Austin, Texas.
