Dean's Prize for Student Scholarship on Women

Have you written a paper you are particularly proud of? Is there a student in your class whose work has really impressed you? Submit your work for the Dean's Prize!

In the spring semester each year, two prizes will be awarded to current William and Mary students whose work (completed within the last three semesters) is evaluated by a selection committee as most successful in advancing our knowledge of women. Students may submit term papers or other class assignments, independent study projects, honors or thesis research. The Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences will award two prizes of $100 each, one to an undergraduate and one to a graduate student. This competition is open to all undergraduate and graduate arts and science students. Past winners include Teresa Ingraham, Laurel Daen, Casey Metheny, Margaret Freeman and Morgan Berman.

Undergraduate students may submit projects and papers between 8 and 12 pages in length; graduate students should submit between 15 and 35 pages. In addition, your full name, social security number, e-mail address, and the name of the instructor and class to which the work was originally submitted should appear on a separate cover sheet. The deadline is usually in early April. Materials for consideration should be submitted as an e-mail attachment to [[gxozye,Gul Ozyegin]], Director of Women's Studies.

The 2012 Dean's Prize winners were Katelyn Durkin '12 and graduate student Kathryn Snyder.
