Deadline for Submissions: May 7, 2021

There is still time for graduating seniors to submit their application for the Distinction in Research and Creative Works Award!

This university award, granted at commencement, appears on the transcript and diploma. Graduating seniors must apply to be considered for the award, and the application must be supported by a letter from a faculty member. The most common path of application will be to the student's major department.

Eligibility for the award extends widely to include a variety of research, design, and other creative projects. The award will be granted only to projects that produce a concrete outcome - e.g. an essay, invention, design, musical composition. Students who complete senior theses or other required senior capstone projects are eligible for consideration for this university distinction.
