The College of Liberal Arts invites all Auburn University undergraduate and graduate students to grab a video camera and document instances of Auburn students transforming public education into public good. Any undergraduate or graduate student enrolled at Auburn University is eligible to submit a video.

The three winning videos will also be showcased on the CLA Web site. Videos should be between one and five minutes in length. The deadline for submitting videos is March 27, 2009. Videos received after the deadline cannot be considered. To submit a video, students should upload their videos on YouTube and then e-mail the Web address to Christa Slaton, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts at ccepc@auburn.edu.
