On Tuesday, April 4, we will celebrate student writing at the CSI Student Writing Showcase…
…and we want
YOU
to be a part of it! The Student Writing Showcase will feature a variety of writing, including
digital and non-digital, fiction and non-fiction, writing produced in English classes and writing produced in other classes.
The only requirement is that a CSI student created the writing during the 2016-2017 school year.
Not only is this a great opportunity to share your work with campus, but it also will provide a nice addition to your resume.
Apply by March 20! 3 ways to apply:
1) Fill out the application form: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LP58J6X
