Good evening!

Below are the links to nominate ESE students for the 2026 Research Award and Teaching Award.  The deadline to submit nominations for theses awards will be Wednesday, April 8^th at 11:59PM.  I have changed these a bit this year to make it hopefully make it easier on the people who review our nominees. I’ve included details below as to what is being asked from you in each of the Qualtrics. Each award is $350. The winners can choose either a plaque or something they’d like personalized with the ESE logo. Let me know if you have any questions regarding nominating your ESE students.
