A UWindsor student will win free tuition for a semester by explaining the value of the humanities.

The Why Humanities? competition invites students to submit a manifesto answering the question “What do the humanities mean to you?” as a video, short essay, poem, or other form that can be read aloud in under two minutes. The contest is part of Humanities Week activities organized by the Humanities Research Group.

The entry deadline is 11 a.m. Tuesday, September 19. Find details on the competition website.
