I hope you'll take a few moments to share information about the Julian Clement Chase Undergraduate Research Writing Prize to students who have written excellent DC-based research papers. This $1000 prize celebrates students who engage meaningfully with the city as a place for deep inquiry and knowledge-making.
A few words from a professor can encourage students to take the extra step to submit. The submission deadline for the JCC Undergraduate Research Writing Prize is MAY 27, but they can submit at any time.
You may also send Dr. Phyllis Ryder (pryder@gwu.edu) a list of names of students whose work you recommend, and I will reach out to them in the spring.
