The Office of Graduate Studies is taking nominations for its annual Graduate Recognition Awards, Folsom Awards, Graduate Student Fellowships and Postdoc Awards. Faculty and staff can submit nominations by Feb. 17 here.

Faculty and staff who would like to nominate an individual should review the descriptions for each nomination category and use the online nomination form where you can provide details about the nominee and nominator. Note that only faculty and staff may submit a nomination.

Students are encouraged to contact their department to be considered for nomination. Students must be admitted into a graduate major, with a specific degree objective, have completed at least one year of coursework in their current program, and enroll full-time during the academic year.

Nominators will be required to submit a nomination letter (letter of support/recommendation) and the nominee’s CV at the time of nomination. A confirmation email will be generated once the nomination form is completed. Departments may nominate more than one student for fellowship consideration.
