Why do UIC students love the humanities?
Tell them to us know by entering the Shout Out for the Humanities contests!
The goals of Shout Out for the Humanities contests are twofold: to make members of our community aware of the professional, cognitive, and interpersonal benefits of studying the humanities in higher education; and to increase awareness about how humanities scholarship benefits the publicand enriches our personal lives.
We invite UIC undergraduate and graduate students, working individually or as a team, to help us reach those goals by answering either or both of these questions:
- Why is studying the humanities (literature, foreign languages andcultures, history, art history, philosophy, anthropology, etc.) important to you and to society?
- How would you convince your parents, an employer, a politician, or others that there is value in learning the humanities?
Over $1,000 in prize money for the best undergraduate submissions at the UIC campus level!
Award sponsors: Office of Undergraduate Research / Gender & Women's Studies Department / Honors College
