The Provost recently announced the spring essay contest on Blink: The Power of Thinking without Thinking. Students are invited to submit an essay by March 20, 2009, and be eligible to win a $50 gift certificate from the IUP Student Cooperative Association Bookstore. The attached file Spring 2009 Essay Instructions.pdf contains instructions that can be downloaded for students.
If you assign this essay on Blink as a part of your course(s) for credit or extra credit, the Common Reader Implementation Team asks that you select no more than two essays among those that are written by your students and forward the top two essays, in each of your courses, to cfr-essays@iup.edu for consideration in the contest. The team thanks you for your continued support of the Common Freshman Reader initiative designed to enhance students' connection to and success as members of the University Community.
