MCJA STUDENT PAPER AWARDS
Student paper awards recognize outstanding undergraduate and graduate student research. Eligibility is limited to enrolled undergraduate and graduate students at the time of the annual conference in September, who also present their research papers at a panel or as a poster. Papers written with faculty are not eligible for this award, though student co-authorship is permitted. Students should submit their entries by August 1st, 2021, and the winner in each division will be announced during the General Business Meeting at the annual conference.
