Steps to Participate in the Unify Challenge College Bowl - Fall 2023
- Watch the three short videos here on the About tab and review Overview Flyer.
- REQUIRED: Reserve your spot by signing up here -- it takes two minutes! You must sign up in advance so a) your name will appear on the "faculty" list when your students sign up, and b) so Unify America can send you important updates. It will take 2-3 days for your name to appear in the list of professors, and then your students can start signing up.
- Review the Faculty Facilitators Guide.
- Review the Student Tab here in this LibGuide – it includes student instructions, the student registration link, and more.
- Review the FAQ Tab here in this LibGuide.
- (Optional but Recommended) Invite your iCED representative to visit your class to talk about the Challenge.
- CHECK YOUR SPAM/JUNK FOLDERS - all correspondence will be from "unifyamerica.org" -- generally from "events@unifyamerica.org" or "carol.vederman@unifyamerica.org" - remind your students to check their spam/junk mail too.
