Dear
Summer and Fall 2012 and Spring 2013 Intensive Writing participants,
The
College of Arts and Sciences and the Campus Writing Program are currently
soliciting submissions for the annual Intensive Writing (IW) Essay Prize for students
enrolled in IW courses during the 2012-2013 academic year. A committee of
past and current IW instructors will select up to two winning essays (one essay
longer than 10 pages and one essay shorter than 10 pages) from each of the
three breadth of inquiry areas in which IW courses are taught: Arts and
Humanities, Social and Historical Studies, and Natural and Mathematical
Sciences. The primary criterion of evaluation is excellence in argument
and exposition.
These
prizes, valued at $150, are awarded each academic year, and nominations and
submissions are accepted in the fall and spring semesters. The deadline
for essays to be considered for the Intensive Writing Essay Prize for the 2012-2013 academic year is 4:00 p.m. Friday, March 1, 2013. Please see the CITL website or the College of Arts and Sciences

We
encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to have your best writing
recognized by the College of Arts and Sciences and the Campus Writing Program
and to help us highlight not only the valuable role that writing plays in the
College curriculum, but the excellence of our Intensive Writing
program. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
