Nomination Procedures
This award recognizes scholarship
and contributions to the scholarly climate in the department. The KIN
Graduate Studies Committee solicits nominations from faculty and graduate
students during the spring semester.
Applicants must submit the
following materials to the KIN Graduate Coordinator as email attachments (electronic copies facilitate the
faculty vote).
 |
Cover letter (one page
maximum) describing the student's intent to apply for the KIN Outstanding
Master's Degree Student Award and highlighting the student's most
significant achievements. This letter must be co-signed by the student's
faculty advisor.
|
|
Resume that addresses all
criteria for the award and that includes complete reference citations for
presentations, publications, and grants.
|
|
Letter of support from a KIN
faculty member.
|
The KIN Graduate Studies Committee then constructs a
ballot that lists all nominees. KIN faculty members vote to
determine the award winner, with voting status granted to faculty members
who (a) advise KIN graduate students and (b) have earned the terminal degree
or who have been approved by the MSU Graduate School to serve as the lead
advisor for graduate students. Each faculty member will rank order the
candidates, and the winner will be determined by a sum of ranks. Number of
first place votes will serve as the tie-breaker. If ties still exist after
this procedure, multiple awards will be presented. |
