[Plsgs] 2014 SPLS Graduate Student Awards

[Betsy Arnold]

Dear colleagues,

In spring 2014, the Graduate Student Program Committee instituted five new
awards to recognize outstanding activity by our graduate students. We are
delighted to congratulate the following students, who are the inaugural
recipients of three of these awards:

Outstanding Dissertation, recognizing the quality of the dissertation and
the contributions of the mentor:
David Jarvis and Ricardo Hernandez, mentored by Karen Schumaker and Chieri
Kubota, respectively.

Outstanding Service and Outreach, recognizing exceptional service within
and beyond the School:
Jen Noble (advisor: Ravi Palanivelu)

Outstanding Service as a Teaching Assistant, recognizing teaching
activities of the highest quality:
Kayla Arendt (advisors: Dave Baltrus and Betsy Arnold)

Awards for Outstanding Thesis and Outstanding Scholarly Achievement were
not made this year. Please note that nominations for SPLS awards will be
opened again in April 2015.

Thank you to those who took the time to generously supply letters of
nomination, and congratulations David, Ricardo, Jen, and Kayla!

Cheers,
Betsy
