The Francis Alison Society has announced its third annual competition for the Young Scholars Award.
The award, given to a tenure-track assistant professor who has shown distinction in combining research and publication with teaching and curriculum, was created and is judged by past recipients of the Francis Alison Award.
Gerard J. Mangone, University Research Professor of International and Maritime Law, who serves as secretary of the society, explained that the Alison scholars were looking for a way to encourage young faculty to continue the level of excellence that leads to being named a Francis Alison scholar, the highest academic award the University of Delaware can bestow on its faculty.
Mangone said the young scholars award is "the recognition of scholarship in our young faculty and their promise of great academic achievement. It is the University acknowledging that we have a remarkable harvest of young scholars ahead of us."
Nominations are made through departmental chairs and should include curriculum vitae, a book, article or other work the nominee believes is his or her best work and the endorsement of the chair.
The award, a cash prize and a plaque, is given at the annual named professors dinner in the fall.
Carlos Plata-Salaman, biological sciences, won the award in 1996 and P. Andrews Evens, chemistry and biochemistry, was the 1997 recipient.
Nominations must be submitted on or before May 30 to: The Secretary, Francis Alison Society, Room 306, Robinson Hall. For information call, 831-8087.
