Nominations sought for Young Scholars Award 5:31 p.m., May 17, 2005--The Francis Alison Society has announced its 10th annual competition for the Young Scholars Award, which is given annually to one assistant professor at UD who has shown distinction through research and publications, especially where such research benefits teaching and academic program. Nominations are made through departmental chairperson or a dean or director in other units. Applications must include a curriculum vitae plus one book, article, or other work that the nominee believes to be his or her best work, and the endorsement of the chairperson, dean or director. A committee of Francis Alison scholars, with the advice and participation of all members of the society, will judge the applicants. This award is one of the Universitys most distinguished honors. The Young Scholars Award includes a ceremonial recognition of the scholar at the annual dinner of the Named Professors of the University, a cash reward, and a plaque which is presented at a special spring function. All nominations, through departmental chairpersons, or deans or directors, should be submitted to the Secretary, Francis Alison Society, Room 306, Robinson Hall before July 1.
