Warp time at SWOSU is approaching.
Southwestern Oklahoma State University at Sayre will host the 20th annual Timed Writing and Research Project, or “Timed WARP” on Tuesday, March 12th.
All area high school juniors and seniors are welcome to participate, according to event planner and SWOSU-Sayre Language and Literature instructor Terry Ford.
Participants will spend time researching in campus computer labs and then will write papers using that research.
According to Ford, papers will be judged by university personnel, and the top finishers will receive SWOSU-Sayre scholarships.
In addition to $1,500 worth of scholarships, lunch will be provided to all attendees, and they can have fun playing games and winning prizes.
The winning paper will be published in the 8th annual SWOSU Anthology of Student Works.
While students research and write, activities will be provided for their teachers. These include a workshop for continuing education points conducted by SWOSU Language and Literature professors.
