Thank you for your interest in participating in
A Day in the Life of Dyersburg State Community College

Project Overview:
Area photographers are invited to come to the DSCC Dyersburg campus and centers to take photographs on Wednesday, September 16, 2009 between the hours of 7:00 A.M and 9:00 P.M.  Participating photographers will then submit their photos to the DSCC Office of Public Information (OPI) on the Dyersburg campus, the main desk of the DSCC Jimmy Naifeh Center at Tipton County, or the main desk at the DSCC Obion County Center on or before noon on Friday, September 25.  From these submissions, photographs will be selected for use in DSCC’s 08-09 Annual Report which will be formatted as a calendar.  This Annual Report is used to showcase Dyersburg State and is distributed to friends of the college each year.

On November 16, the DSCC OPI will host a reception in the Learning Resource Center on the Dyersburg campus for those who participated in the competition and will invite the general public to attend.  The selected photos will be displayed.  The display will also be shown at the DSCC Jimmy Naifeh Center at Tipton County and the DSCC Gibson County Center.
