However, a few posts stood out as being especially well written, interesting, moments when fresh voices came through, grabbed my attention, and kept me reading. I’ve shared a few below.

What’s the catch? Blogging. That’s right, simply post blog entries on engaging topics, the student who receives the most votes from CollegeNET members each week wins scholarship money. Nothing to turn away from in these troubled economic times…

There was no shortage of impressive, thoughtful work in response to the competition prompts.

Makaya’s impressive work which earned top honors reminds us to look around and notice those around us who too often remain nameless. Her video, a montage of pictures, music, and moving words, reminds us of our personal responsibility to take action, to care about those who are homeless.

Our class blogging video was also honored, thanks to the hard work and willingness among students to share your thoughts on blogging and the impact it has made on your own academic experiences. Impressive indeed!

Congratulations to all who entered this year. Keep blogging!
