Greetings Staff and Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences,

 

We’re excited to introduce "A&S Unscripted: A Multimedia Celebration of Undergraduate Inquiry," a new College of Arts & Sciences video competition celebrating the meaningful experiences that shape our undergraduate students’ education. Through short videos, students can share their experience with research projects, internships, study abroad, original works of art, or other academic and creative experiences that have made an impact on their time in A&S.

 

Open to undergraduate students in the College of Arts & Sciences, the competition invites students to create a 2–4 minute video in whatever format best tells their story. Professional filming or editing skills aren’t required, and cash prizes include $1,000 for first place, $750 for second place, $500 for third place, and $500 for the People’s Choice Award. The submission period is open now through Jan. 31, 2027.

 

This contest will be a great opportunity to celebrate their work and reflect on what they’ve learned along the way. Visit the A&S Unscripted webpage for complete submission guidelines and instructions.

 

Thank you for helping us spread the word. 

 

Have a great weekend.

 

J. Scott Turpen
