The deadline for submissions to the Paul Simon Essay Contest is just around the corner. Before spring break, please remind your students of the opportunity to submit an essay.

Essays should consist of 500 typed words on the topic “How My Community College Changed My Life” and are due no later than 3 p.m. on Friday, March 19. Students can schedule appointments in the LLCC Writing Center to get help planning and revising their essays for the contest. The top LLCC essay submission will be forwarded on to the statewide competition for a chance to win a $500 scholarship for the fall 2021 semester. Local prizes are also awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place LLCC submissions courtesy of the LLCC Foundation and the LLCC Bookstore.
