Dear , 

As the fall semester picks up speed, it is the perfect time for your students to try their hand at critical thinking and social innovation by entering our outstanding spotlight competitions: Dell Empowering Women Challenge and Dell Education Challenge.

Students can win $65,000 (seed funding from both challenges), earn global recognition, and invaluable mentoring support.

We appreciate you forwarding this email to those who might be interested!

What’s at stake?

Each competition is open to any university student, from any country, male or female, graduate or undergraduate, and in any field of study. The deadline to submit ideas is September 23, 2013.•

Thank you for your continued support,

The DSIC Team
