Competition Guidelines

Projects will be judged and awards made once each academic year.

  1. The awards will be made for the first, second, and the third places.
  2. Projects will be judged using the following system:
    1. Preliminary Review of All Entries. The Interdisciplinary and Global Studies Division (IGSD) will appoint a faculty screening panel to read and review the project summaries and reports. This committee will select the best five or six projects as finalists.
    2. The Final Judging.
      1. The Awards Committee, which includes external judges, will read the summaries and review the project reports of the finalists.
      2. In Term C, the authors of the selected projects will be invited to make a 20 minute presentation of their project during the final judging. At the conclusion of these presentations, the Award Committee will select the top three projects (the remaining reports will receive Honorable Mentions). The competition winners will be announced at a dinner following the oral presentations. The competition presentation this year will be on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 at 1:30 p.m. in the Campus Center Odeum.
