At the end of September 2011, a call went out seeking submissions from the NJ academic community for entries to the 2012 VALE Cover Design Competition. Paul Glassman of Felician College and Cynthia Coulter of HCCC, from the 2012 VALE User's Conference Planning Subcommittee, oversaw the cover design competition.

We were very impressed and pleased with the submissions we received. We would like to thank the students who participated and thank the faculty for their willingness to take on this responsibility.
