“When LU discussed how we could [provide] community engagement at SFCC, the students thought that the essay contest would be a good idea to coordinate and plan for this quarter,” Vigil said. “This was around the time of the rioting in the Capitol, prior to the presidential inauguration and student’s focus was how to build community – thus our theme for this contest.”

Submit an essay to the contest for a chance to win one of three prizes.
