[Poscgrad] Jenkin Outstanding Paper Award Winner

[John Medearis]

Dear Colleagues,



The Undergraduate Committee has decided to award this year’s Jenkin
Outstanding Paper Award to Michelle Wang for a paper on civil war in
Myanmar.



We also decided to award “honorable mentions” to Avanti Abhyankar and
Lorelei Van Daele for their submitted essays.



Michelle will receive a $500 award via financial aid.



Thanks to the other committee members: Yasemin, Ron, Josh, Laura and
Kelechi. Thanks also to Bryan, Donna, Kristy, Christina and Victoria for
help soliciting applicants and administering the award.



And thanks to all of you for your help in identifying candidates for this
and other department awards.  We will continue to improve our direct
outreach to students about these awards, but self-nomination by students
can only be part of the plan to recruit the best possible applicant pools
for department awards.



We will be making more awards in the Spring, so please be on the lookout
for more requests for your advice.  This is an excellent way for you to
help us provide modest but meaningful amounts of support to our deserving
and capable students.



Yours,

John
