To inject new energy and perspective into its efforts, the Office of Alumni Relations has unveiled a contest, “I Am Ram,” to recruit young alumni who care about Winston-Salem State University and want to have a voice at their alma mater.
Winners of the “I Am Ram” contest will attend University events as a VIP and network with other alumni; appear online and in print publications as spokespersons for WSSU, and consult with administrators on WSSU initiatives.
Alumni Relations invites passionate, articulate graduates from the classes of 2000 to 2009 to submit an essay by December 17. In 500 to 600 words, the essay should explain why the university should choose you. The top five entrants will be invited to submit a video, no longer than two minutes, again explaining why they should be selected. The videos will be posted to the Web site by February 1 for young alumni, Classes 2000 and on, to vote on their favorite. Winners will be announced on March 1, 2010.
