Fancy sea food appetizers and refreshments were provided to all who were interested in stopping by the office to learn about the Writing Center and the Liberal Arts Essay Contest
"Not many students are aware of this contest, and it is a great opportunity for scholarship’s and writing experience," said Amanda Kuam, a consultant for the Writing Center who is majoring in Psychology.
In February 2009, UWS student MelissaHepokoski was chosen by the Writing across the Curriculum committee as the winner of the Liberal Arts Essay Contest. Her essay was entered in the UW-System Fourth Annual Liberal Arts Essay Scholarship competition, where she and two other students from Wisconsin were picked as the winners.
Hepokoski won up to $2000 dollars in scholarships, and she encouraged students to enter this year’s contest.
"Through the essay, I was able to express my appreciation of having a Liberal Arts Education and inform others how my education has made me the person I am today. The process of writing the essay helped to build my confidence and skill as a writer," she said. "I was happy to share my voice and gratitude for my Liberal Arts education. In sum, I ask you to consider entering the essay contest for 2010.
