This I Believe @ Tech Contest

Posted by Angela Valenti On 11:12:00 AM
What do you believe? This semester Tech is having a This I Believe contest, where students submit their own statement of personal belief. This I Believe, a national project started in the 1950s by journalist Edward R. Murrow and continued today on NPR, invites everyday Americans to write about the core beliefs that guide their daily lives. In a short essay (350-500 words) students will reflect on the values and beliefs that drive them. The deadline is March 17, 2011 and the guidelines, submission instructions, and examples can be found at http://www.thisibelieve.gatech.edu/. Contest winners will be invited to present their essays at a This I Believe public event at the end of the spring semester.  All finalists in the contest (from which the winners will be chosen) will have their essays published online in written, oral, and/or video format.

Also, you can see a live This I Believe presentation this Tuesday, March 15 at 11am in the Wilby Room of the library. Pete Ludovice, a CHBE professor by day and stand up comedian by night, will be giving his "This I Believe" on humor and laughter. You won't want to miss it!
