NSHSS Academic Paper Awards 2007

The academic paper award committee has selected the following twenty-five papers for awards of $250 each. The Society congratulates the winners and wishes to acknowledge the effort and expertise that all of the submissions demonstrated. We received a large number of truly outstanding efforts reflecting a wide range of topics and academic courses. Winning papers were selected based on how well the student addressed a particular assignment, while presenting the material in a clear and thoughtful way in the student's own voice.
