We are delighted to announce that Jillian Battista, Jimmy Capella, and Madison McCall are the esteemed recipients of this year’s Earl and Barbara Baughman Dissertation Research Award. This prestigious award is presented annually to outstanding graduate student researchers within our department, acknowledging their innovative dissertation research.
The Earl and Barbara Baughman Dissertation Award underscores our department’s commitment to supporting advanced graduate students who are in the crucial stages of their dissertation projects. By enabling them to focus exclusively on their research over the summer, the award alleviates the need to seek other employment, ensuring that our brightest scholars can devote their full attention to making significant academic contributions.
This year, the department has allocated three awards to assist our recipients as they push towards the completion of their transformative research projects. This investment in our students’ future is not only a testament to their hard work and potential but also a tribute to the legacy of Earl and Barbara Baughman’s dedication to academic excellence.
For more details about the application process or future deadlines, please contact Dr. Charlie Wiss. Let us extend our heartfelt congratulations to Jillian, Jimmy, and Madison. We eagerly anticipate the impactful research outcomes their work will bring to our community and the broader field.
