The club meets Feb. 11, Feb. 18, March 3, March 10 and March 17 in BE 106 from 2-2:30 p.m., with a new conversation topic for each session.
2020 marks 100 years since the 19th amendment was ratified, granting women the right to vote. To celebrate, Washtenaw NOW (National Organization for Women) is holding an essay contest. Cash prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place in amounts of $500, $300 and $200, respectively.
The deadline for submissions is Feb. 14. Essays should be typed, double-spaced and between 750 and 1000 words in length; essays should be submitted as PDFs to nowwashco@gmail.com, with the subject line reading “Votes for Women 100 Essay.” The PDF document should include the essay title and contact information (name, email address, phone number and school name).
Essay prompt: “We all strive to find our unique voice—our truest expression of ourselves. How have you found yours? Has it been through academics? Artistic expression? Music? Poetry? Storytelling? Athletics? Describe how you have found your voice—or the journey you are on to find it.
