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. You may read the
winning essays online.
Application for Academic Paper Awards Competition for 2009
will be available fall 2008.
