The Science Coalition (TSC), a nonprofit, nonpartisan group of more than 50 research universities (NIU is one of them), is hosting a video challenge for students to tell their stories!
TSC is dedicated to growing America’s investment in fundamental science, but we cannot take support for research funding for granted. At a time of competing priorities, it is important that Congress hear why robust federal support for research is critical for our future.
See attached details and the link for students to learn more about specifications. These are 60 – 90 second videos detailing why scientific research matters for our future. Deadline is October 21st.

The Science
Coalition is excited to launch its Fund It Forward Student Video Challenge this
fall. In preparation for the kickoff, the Student Engagement Committee has
prepared materials for you to help amplify the challenge.
The Student Video Challenge page on the TSC website is now live,
incorporating all the information interested students may need. Submissions
will be accepted from September 3 – October 21, 2019. This event is open to graduate and
undergraduate students at TSC institutions. Cash prizes will be awarded to the
top three graduate and undergraduate winners. There is also a people’s choice
award for the finalists.
We are also attaching an informational graphic that has the
details about this activity. We are asking you to share this information
with you campus communication offices, student life offices, and relevant STEM
programs.
