Want to win my money?

Yes. It’s true. I’m giving away money, but for good reason.

We’re bringing back the Win Dean Manderscheid’s Money contest. This year we’re asking students to tell me what I could learn from their favorite assignment.

The student with the best answer gets $100. I’ll also visit the winning student’s classroom to present a certificate, hand over the cash and recognize the classroom instructor.

We first ran the contest last year as we were looking at how we could improve the way we describe what the College of Arts and Sciences is all about. Who best to do that than the students?

We had such fun with the contest last year. It was a way for me to get into the classroom again and learn about the great things going on in the college. It’s also a way for students to showcase things they love about their classes.

Students can enter as many times as they want by March 20. To enter, visit http://ascweb.unl.edu/windeansmoney2011.asp
