Winners Announced
The Division of Continuing Education celebrated the third annual National Distance Learning Week (NDLW) November 11-15, 2013. NDLW is sponsored by the United States Distance Learning Association, and its purpose is to increase awareness and appreciation for distance learning and how it helps people reach their educational goals.
The week consisted of a series of social media contests and prize packages from Varney’s and GTM Sportswear were given to the following winners:
- Willie photo contest on Monday, November 11: Jennifer Haake
- K-State song contest on Tuesday, November 12: Jennifer and Hayden Haake
- Virtual Scavenger Hunt on Wednesday, November 13: Erica Villarreal
- K-State gear photo contest on Thursday, November 14: Anne Pitts
- Traveling Willie photo contest on Friday, November 15: Anne Pitts
Anne Pitts was given this year’s Most Active Participant Award and received a copy of the commemorative 150th anniversary book “Generations of Success – A Photographic History of Kansas State University 1863-2013.”
Our grand prize contest was a Distance Learning Essay Contest. Students were asked to answer this question in 300 words or less: “How has distance learning at Kansas State University affected the way you are reaching your goals?” Kathleen O’Leary, a distance student in the academic advising program, won this year’s essay contest. Kathleen will receive a $150 gift card to Varney’s and her essay will be featured in an upcoming blog post.
We received many great contest entries and thoroughly enjoyed interacting with our distance students. We would like to thank all the students that participated.
