Americanism Essay New Information

Good afternoon everyone. Just in case you receive questions, below was sent to the Americanism Division chairmen to be forwarded on to the departments and units.

TO: All Divisional, Department and Unit Americanism Chairman
RE: NEW Essay Cover Sheet

We have had several concerns about students re-submitting essays from last year as the topic remains the same.  With all Chairman (or most) remaining in place, if there are re-submissions it should be easy to track.

Attached you will find a NEW Essay Cover Sheet stating No re-submissions will be accepted.  Please make sure you push this information and new cover sheet out to all Department Chairman ASAP. There is a video posted on Facebook to assist them in promoting the Essay Contest done by our very own Americanism Vice Chairman, Doreen Gallagher.  Thank you Doreen, for all your hard work.   Please share the Facebook link,

The website Essay Cover Sheet will be updated as soon as work on the website is complete.  The improved National website should be rolled out sometime in December.  Looking forward to the easier website format coming soon.

Hugs,
