The Prize is awarded annually to one undergraduate student at each CCCESD-member department (~32 departments). The Prize consists of a monetary award, one-year memberships in both GAC and PDAC, and an electronic certificate.
Criteria for the prize
The intent is that undergraduate students who are selected for this prize should be academically sound, have good leadership skills (e.g. as they pertain to organizing field trips, geology club geo-events, etc.), and have done well at field school or otherwise show proficiency in field techniques. A student in his/her final (i.e. graduation) year is preferred.
Selection of the student
Students should be given the opportunity to nominate fellow undergraduate candidates for the award, but that faculty ultimately choose the winner from among those nominated. The GAC Councillor charged as Campus Liaison Coordinator will be in charge of reminding departments of the award and ensuring that a student is selected annually.
Deadline for submission of the selected student’s name and a short biography to GAC Headquarters: January 11.
