ASIS International hosts Student Writing Competition in 2011 Published on 1 August 2011
The ASIS Academic Programs Council and the ASIS Foundation are calling for entries for the 2011 ASIS International Student Writing Competition. The writing competition rewards college and university students who conduct research, engage in thoughtful deliberation and write an academic paper between 3,000 and 6,000 words on an issue relevant to the security and assets protection profession. "The objective of this competition is to encourage critical thinking to help make our world a safer and more secure place to live, work, govern and conduct business," says Kevin Peterson, CPP, coordinator of the Student Writing Competition and a member of the ASIS Academic Programs Council. "The 2010 competition drew more than a dozen entries from students around the world. In 2011, we look forward to both expanding the reach of the programme and to bringing forth valuable new insights and best practices to meet the challenges faced by security practitioners today and in the years to come." Students may select one of six topics for their paper. Topics include the most promising technologies to meet tomorrow's security challenges; improving the image and reputation of the security profession; protecting information and intangible assets in the 21st century; leveraging low-cost/low-tech solutions for contemporary security challenges; the impact of globalisation on security, assets protection and organisational resilience; and the challenge of securing cyberspace: man or machine?
