The Dean’s Award for Good Writing

1. The Dean’s Award for Good Writing The Faculty of Social Sciences believes that good writing is important and we want to recognize students who are good writers. Awards are now presented in the spring of each year to students in the Faculty who show evidence of good writing in their course essays. Initially, a $100 award is presented to the student in each Department or Centre in the Faculty who has submitted the best paper during the previous academic year. There is no application for this award. Instead, papers will be nominated to the Chair/Director of each Department or Centre by the faculty members who have taught courses during the previous year. The Chair then chooses the recipient of the BEST STUDENT PAPER for the Department or Centre. All of the award-winning papers from the Departments and Centres across the Faculty of Social Sciences are then recommended to the Dean for consideration for the award for the BEST PAPER IN THE FACULTY. After reading each of the papers that are submitted, the Dean awards an additional $500 to the one person who has written the best of the student papers that are submitted by the Departments and Centres.
