Enter the Buffs One Read Storytelling Contest to win $500
Want to win $500 and meet the founder of StoryCorps, Dave Isay? Undergraduate students are invited to submit creative expressions inspired by Isay’s book Callings: The Purpose and Passion of Work, by sharing an essay, story, original artwork or multimedia reflection with the campus community to the Buffs One Read Storytelling Contest.
Submissions must be received by Jan. 14.
In Callings, Isay presents unforgettable stories from people doing work they love. Told through touching conversations between friends, coworkers, and family members, the stories share a wide range of experiences and capture the strength, courage and resilience of the storytellers. Some found their paths at very young ages, others later in life. Some overcame great odds or upturned their lives in order to pursue what matters to them and all are gifts that offer inspiration and hope.
First year and transfer students can get their own copy of the book for free. CU community members with an Identikey may access the copies in print and online at the University Libraries.
