Description

The Giles T. Brown Thesis Excellence Award is awarded to students who are nominated by faculty members for having completed high-caliber thesis work that has potential for making an impact in their field of study. We will announce the winners to the university, add their names to a perpetual plaque, and recognize them at relevant awards ceremonies, in campus publications, and on social media.

Nominations

The nomination is comprised of two parts, the Thesis Chair Application and the Student Application. The Thesis Chair Application includes a 500-600 word recommendation on the impact and significance of the student’s work. This should include any information on how the student’s work breaks new ground, is an innovative contribution, or has the ability to have a wide-ranging impact. The Department Chair is also required to sign the Thesis Chair Application form, only to confirm that there is only one nomination for this program this year. The Student Application includes a short abstract (50 words), extended abstract (500-600 words), and a student biography (150 words). The Thesis Chair Application and the Student Application must both be received by March 28, 2025 at 5:00pm to be considered for the award.
