SUMMARY:Deadline Extended to 4/24 for ESCC Writing Contest
DESCRIPTION:ESCC Writing Contest: “Let Your Voice Be Heard”\nIn early 2020\, ESCC President Dr. James Shaeffer challenged us to think about our purpose—our reasons—for doing what we do at ESCC. According to Dr. Shaeffer\, who retired in 2025\, his “YES!! is inclusive at ESCC because we are open to all\, and our student body represents the diversity of the Eastern Shore.  YES!! is inclusive in the programs we offer for transfer students\, short-term workforce programs\, and full degrees.  We are also inclusive in the span of ages we serve.  Finally\, we strive for inclusivity in serving the needs of the community throughout Your Eastern Shore.”\nAre you ready to share your unique perspective and creativity regarding our campus culture?
