Faculty
Senate awards student research projects
Staff
Report
The
Faculty Senate will award grants of up to $3,000 this month to
43 outstanding undergraduate students and their faculty mentors
for support of innovative research projects in a variety of disciplines
and schools. They will be recognized at an awards ceremony Feb.
28 at 4 p.m. at Alumni Hall.
"The
Faculty Senate would like to commend the many University undergraduates
who applied for these awards," said William J. Kehoe, chair of
the senate's Research and Scholarship Committee that chose the
award-winning projects. "The large number of applications is an
inspiring testimonial to the creativity and diverse abilities
among our students."
The
research awards are supported by a gift from alumnus David A.
Harrison III, a retired investment banker who has supported awards
over the past several years to recognize exceptional faculty teaching
and academic leadership. Out of $160,000 in this year's funds,
the awards range from $2,200 to a maximum of $3,000, depending
on the needs of the particular project. Each student's faculty
mentor receives $1,000, and some declined the stipend, which left
more money to be awarded to students.
Beginning
their work this semester, the students must complete their projects
by the end of summer. Final reports will be submitted to the Faculty
Senate, and some of the projects will be showcased in a future
symposium.
