Dear Deans, Directors, and Department Heads:
I hope this communication finds you well. This is a special invitation for you to nominate or encourage the nomination of faculty and students for the 2010 John A. White Award for Faculty Student Collaboration. This prestigious award is designed to 1) highlight for first year students the academic research/scholarly projects that can be done via collaboration between faculty and students and 2) excite students about out of classroom experiences, such as team research.
Please encourage your faculty to nominate their academic research or scholarly projects for this award. Proposals should be submitted on or before the June 2, 2010 deadline by midnight. Award recipients will receive a $1,000 grant as well as the presentation of their project at the 9th Annual Academic Convocation on Sunday, August 22, 2010 at 4:00 pm in Bud Walton Arena. Academic Convocation will be followed by the Burger Bash Celebration in the Gardens Tailgating Area on the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. We hope your faculty and their families will enjoy this opportunity to relax and greet our new students.
