In Winter 2008 the Foreign Language Technology Center introduced a new program for students, the Digital Stories Competition. Digital stories are a way for students to document their study abroad experiences and provide an avenue to reflect on them, make meaning of it, and present it to fellow study abroad students and prospective students.

Students travelling overseas as part of various study programs may participate in this competition by submitting digital stories of their experiences. Winning entries receive an award and are screened at a Student Film Festival.

Typically, students register for participation in the FLTC Digital Stories competition prior to departure, work on their stories during their stay overseas in the Summer and submit their digital stories after they return. For more details read the DigitalStoriesGuidelines. Students wishing to participate in the competition must complete and submit the Registration Form.
