Founders' Day Student Essay Contest | |
| Founders' Day is the annual
AUB commemoration celebrating the establishment of the University
on December 3, 1866. To raise student awareness of this important
occasion and their participation in it, the University announces the
ninth Founders' Day Student Essay Contest. All AUB undergraduate students
regardless of class year, faculty, or major, are encouraged to enter
this contest. Founders' Day ceremony this year will take place on Monday December 3, 2007 at noon, in Assembly Hall. This year's Founders' Day essay theme is:- Do AUB's politically active students share the institution's values or do they share the values of their political mentors off campus? Is there a difference? Essays should not exceed 1,000 words in length and may also be jointly prepared by two or more students. A special selection committee appointed by AUB President John Waterbury will evaluate the submitted essays and recommend a winner. There are no "right" or "wrong" answers to the question. A good essay will reflect on institutional values and the expressed values of political groups on campus. It is appropriate to consider the possibility that AUB does a poor job in teaching its values. The winner will receive a prize of $500 and will be asked to read her or his essay during the Founder's Day Ceremony. The name of the winner will be inscribed on a plaque in the entrance to Assembly Hall. Entrants should submit a typed essay, on CD, at the Dean of Student Affairs Office in West Hall no later than Friday, November 16, 2007. Please make sure to obtain a receipt for your submission. |
