The Graduate School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will recognize outstanding graduate students for their research and service during the 10th annual Graduate Student Recognition Ceremony on April 3. The ceremony will be at 3 p.m. in the George Watts Hill Alumni Center on Stadium Drive. Members of the public outside the University community who are interested in attending should call (919) 962-6311 by 5 p.m. Monday (March 31). Among 300 graduate students recognized will be more than 200 who received grants including Fulbright Fellowships and fellowships from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. “Every time a Carolina graduate student is awarded an external fellowship or grant, it enhances Carolina’s reputation as one of the finest public research universities and brings valuable funding to the University,” said Linda Dykstra, Ph.D., school dean. Students will display research projects with implications for North Carolina, honored with Impact Awards. Joining them will be student award recipients from the Graduate and Professional Student Federation on University Research Day. A new award, the Graduate Deans’ Distinguished Dissertation Award, will be presented to four students who completed their dissertations this year. Other honorees will include new student inductees into three honorary societies. Recipients of the Boka W. Hadzija Award for Distinguished Service and of the Dean’s Award also will be recognized. Members of the university community are invited to attend a 4 p.m. awards ceremony and a reception afterward. Graduate School contact: Kathy Farinola, (919) 962-6311 |
