SSE Video Contest
What's Going On: UWF will host the Grand Opening of its new School of Science and Engineering Building, a 100,000 square foot, four-story, state-of-the-art facility, Feb. 4 and 5, 2010. Among the building's features are classrooms designed for a global, technological society; prototype robot fabrication and testing laboratories; a 3D virtual reality simulator and a glass-walled atrium that will put science and engineering on display.
Here's the Deal: UWF challenges current students and alumni to enter the School of Science and Engineering Video Contest. The rules are simple, so let your imagination run wild and think "outside the box." The video that expresses the opportunities that the new UWF School of Science and Engineering Building will offer stands the best chance to win the grand prize - a reserved parking space on campus! Other potential prizes may include a brand new Apple Laptop or an iPod. (Prizes will be determined soon. Stay tuned!).
