Student Awards — New and Improved!!

by Pauline Horn, Student Awards Manager

It's hard to believe, but it's time to start thinking about our annual Student Awards competition — the Heidi Thiessen Memorial Awards for Student Writing. This year we've enhanced the submission process so that the basic details can be submitted online!

It took teamwork to design the web form, create the code, test and review the changes and finally release it for use. We had a great team and they worked together between their regular jobs and lives. Great work, everyone.

Be sure to check out the Chapter's website and follow the link from the home page. Better yet, encourage those students you know to submit their work for consideration. The prize money will certainly come in handy in the springtime.

Students, please feel free to ask any questions: email studentawards@stc-soc.org.
