With the start of the fall term upon us, it's very likely you may be feeling that way now!

At Macmillan Learning, we're humbled to work with all stakeholders in the education community to help learners achieve their wildest dreams. Today we are excited to announce a contest to capture the realities, challenges, and motivations of higher education faculty, staff, and students.

We talk to faculty and students every day, and often hear incredible stories about perseverance and the determination to succeed. We want to hear more of your stories and will reward the most creative storytellers!"Each day we hear stories of people who have dedicated themselves to the pursuit of higher education and those who work to support and encourage others in that pursuit," said Ken Michaels, CEO of Macmillan Learning. "So we are really excited to facilitate the storytelling process and hopefully inspire the next generation of teachers and learners while at it."
