application procedures
Each year, the Professional Preparation Commission acknowledges the outstanding scholarship of graduate students in higher education and student affairs programs through the presentation of research and writing awards. We are pleased to announce the criteria, application process, and deadline for this year’s awards process. Recipients will be recognized at the 2008 annual convention in Atlanta.
There are currently four research and writing awards in the Professional Preparation Commission. They include:
- Burns B. Crookston Doctoral Research Award
- Gerald Saddlemire Masters Research Award
- Roberta Christie Essay Award
- Nevitt Sanford Award
The purpose of these awards is to honor the writing and research of students enrolled (and those who earned their degrees between March 2007-March 2008) in graduate preparation programs in student affairs or higher education. Entries for all awards must be submitted electronically. Prepare your entry as follows:
- A title page with ONLY the title of your paper and the award for which you are applying (e.g., Student Development Theory, submitted as an entry for the Nevitt Sanford Award). Do not put your name or institution on the title page or anywhere in the document itself.
- Save as an MSWord or PDF document, with your name as the document name (e.g., smithj.doc or smithj.pdf). Your name SHOULD NOT APPEAR anywhere else on the document. Entries will be blind reviewed.
- Send your entry as an email attachment to Elisa Abes at abeses@muohio.edu. In your email message, please include:
- Name
- Institutional Affiliation (where you are/were a student)
- Degree and Date Awarded or Anticipated to be Awarded
- Current Mailing Address
- The Title of Your Paper
- The Award for Which You Are Submitting It
- The deadline for sending entries is 5 pm EST on Friday, January 4, 2008.
Entries not prepared in this manner may not be considered for an award. You will receive an email confirmation of the receipt of your entry and its eligibility.
[The judges reserve the right to make no award in any category.]
Direct questions about preparing or submitting your entry to Dr. Elisa Abes, Miami University, (513) 529-0164, abeses@muohio.edu.
