Hello Everyone: A quick note to say that the Faculty Lectureship Award Nominations are due to the Grad Office (field2@purdue.edu<mailto:field2@purdue.edu>) by Friday, December 13th. The Faculty Lectureship Award is meant to reward scholarly research and publication by a Purdue Chemical Engineering graduate student. The winner of the award will be given a certificate, a $500 monetary award, and will be invited to give a 30 minute lecture to the faculty and graduate student body on their research. The winner will be selected by the Graduate Committee based on a broad evaluation of their scholarship and potential. At most one award per year will be made, but the Graduate Committee may elect not to grant an award if no truly outstanding candidates are identified. A graduate student may be nominated by any Purdue ChE faculty member. Requirements for the nomination are: (1) A nomination citation, which is not to exceed 1 page. The nominee may help develop and write the citation, but it must be approved, signed, and endorsed by the nominating faculty member. (2) The student's CV, which is not to exceed 2 pages. (3) A copy of one first-authored published (or accepted) manuscript that is to be representative of their scholarly ability. For this year's award, nominations are due to the graduate program administrator by email, no later than close of business Friday, December 13, 2013. The Graduate Committee will announce the winner early in the spring semester.
