Hints!

Looking at submittals so far, I couldn't help but notice that the easiest category to enter (Encourage Educational Attainment) has some of the fewest entries. Below is a list of very simple ideas that are perfect photos for the Encourage Educational Attainment category:

- Academic Buildings (both from the inside and outside)
- Classrooms (both empty and full of students)
- Library (rows of books, students studying)
- Students in action (all ages - K through College) (studying, walking with backpacks, hand raised with a question)
- Science Lab (pictures with a microscope, test tubes, safety glasses)
- Faculty (teaching in a classroom, in a one-on-one discussion with a student, faculty in their office)
- Speakers (guest speakers, lecturers, presentations)

Stay tuned for more helpful hints...
