CAPS-EAST annually recognizes graduate and undergraduate students for excellence and scholarship with three awards for student papers (Frances McNeill Worthington Awards) presented at its convention. At least one of these awards will go to an undergraduate, if possible. The awards consist of (a) graduated cash awards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places, (b) a one-year member to CAPS International for all three winners (with the membership going to the first author if a paper has a second co-author), and (c) an award certificate suitable for framing. In addition, the first place award for most Outstanding Paper includes a full refund of conference fees (for the first author, if the paper has a second co-author). You may request a copy of the assessment rubric and submit completed papers by Monday, October 8, 2012 to Dr. Daryl Stevenson (daryl.stevenson@houghton.edu). Please note the guidelines below. NOTE: If you want your student paper considered for a presentation (paper or poster session), you will also need to submit a formal proposal by September 7, 2012. |

* Submitters shall be matriculated full-time students in either undergraduate or graduate programs at the time of writing the paper * Papers should clearly state on the title page whether the student is submitting as an undergraduate or graduate student, and only one paper per student may be submitted. * The typical submission can be theoretical or empirical, and should be conceived and written by one student, or possibly with just one additional student co-author. * Faculty mentors or sponsors may provide guidance and editing input, but guidance should fall short of the threshold of being a co-author. * The full paper should be e-mailed as an attachment no later than Monday, October 8, 2012, and be in Microsoft Word format to assist with blind review by a panel of judges. See above for email address. * In cases where co-authors win award, the cash award winnings shall be divided, presumably between authors, and, if applicable, non-cash awards will be given to the first author. |
