As an organization of student representatives in the College of Arts and Sciences, the Student Executive Council is committed to the pursuit of academic excellence and freedom in an educational environment that values the unique contribution of each student. The purpose of the Scholastic Competition is to provide undergraduate students an opportunity to showcase their work, develop their academic voice, and receive acknowledgement for their original, quality scholarship. In each category, the student whose top work is selected will be awarded a $250 prize and a certificate at the A&S Awards
A panel of judges including two to three professors (one from each disciplinary category) and one student judge from the Student Executive Council will choose the top three works and possibly honorable mentions. The judging panel will meet during the judging period, after reading or reviewing all submissions.
The categories for the competition are listed below with the appropriate division per discipline. However, acknowledging interdisciplinary work, discretion for category submission is left to the student. This especially applies to students with submissions in Environmental Studies, Global African Studies, Journalism, Latin American Studies, Liberal Studies, Women Studies, Modern Languages and Cultures, International Studies, and Asian Studies.
* Submissions are to be 6+ page pieces of academic writing, double spacing, 11-12 sized font (Times New Roman preferably). In .doc format, preferably.
