Student Paper Award Replaces Grad Student Award

The SFRA is proud to announce a change to one of its most important awards to more accurately reflect the involvement of a variety of students in the organization. Due to increased undergraduate participation in the SFRA as demonstrated at the 2009 conference in Atlanta, Georgia, the executive committee has decided to open the award for the most outstanding student paper at the annual meeting to both undergraduate and graduate students. Thus, the Graduate Student Paper Award will now be called the Student Paper Award to reflect this inclusiveness. If you are an undergraduate or graduate student who presented a paper at this year's conference and want your work
considered for the Student Paper Award, please send an electronic copy of your paper to this year's Award Committee Chair, Jim Davis, at jdavis [at] troy.edu. All submissions should be sent to Jim by midnight of September 1, 2009.
