Through the Student Author Contest, NACAS encourages students to reflect on the college and university issues that they consider to be the most important. This is a great opportunity for students to get involved in the association and reflect on the impact of auxiliary services on their campuses.
 
According to NACAS Research, students define success by personal traits such as being committed, working hard, and being ambitious. Most recently, our studies show that students have defined success as “happiness” and “feeling fulfilled.” Further, 2019 data indicates that students rank university mental and physical health services amongst the top three most important factors needed critical to achieving success.
 
2020 Student Author Contest Prompt: How do auxiliary services impact students’ holistic wellbeing? Please provide specific examples of how auxiliary services can help improve the lives of students on your campus.
 
Contest Prizes: The first, second, and third-place prizes are $1,000, $600, and $400 respectively. All winning essays will be published in College Services magazine and will be promoted across NACAS media platforms.
 
Promote this contest on your campuses and encourage your student employees to enter! The contest deadline is April 1, 2020.
