Welcome, everyone! We are here at the Why I love WOU

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:20.000
Reveal of the grand prize scholarship winner.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.000
We had fifty seven entries. We had thirteen judges.

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:29.000
Today in front of us we have some of our ten finalists and the best number,

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:33.000
We have thirteen thousand dollars in scholarships that we are giving out.

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.000
applause

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:41.000
In these videos, we noticed there was a theme. A lot of our students kind of felt similar things.

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:45.000
What they love about WOU includes being more than just a face,

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:49.000
Having the professors really getting to know you and learning about you as a person,

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.000
The feeling of safety that they have here on our campus, which is of course

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:57.000
Something that we do as a community and also big thanks to our Public Safety office,

00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:60.000
The great community and the way that they can make friends for life,

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.000
All the different opportunities to get involved, which thank you, we try

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.000
And of course our beautiful campus.

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:15.000
Drum roll, please! Yeah! drumroll

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:21.000
And the winner of the first annual Why I love WOU Scholarship is

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:25.000
Caitlyn Healy! applause

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.000
Excellent, thank you so much.

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:34.000
What advice would you give current and future students about making a winning video about why you love Western?

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.000
I had to dig through the Archives to get some really cool photos, and I think that

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:43.000
That helped a lot and people like to see that stuff, so think of what you really like but also what other people like as well.

00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:48.000
Awesome! Congratulations, let's give it up again for Caitlyn. 

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.000
applause
