[Cuga] 2014 JSA Thesis Prize call for nominations: A message from John Arrington

[Lorelei Chopard]

The UGBoD will award the "2014 JSA Thesis Prize" for the best Jefferson 
Lab related thesis at the Annual Users Group meeting, scheduled June 
1-3, 2015.

For the 2014 competition, the deadline is March 2, 2015 (we thank JSA 
for once again fully funding this prize). A complete package requires a 
nomination letter by a senior scientist giving the name and institution 
of the person being nominated and the names of three people who will 
send letters of recommendation, along with a copy of the thesis. All 
materials must be submitted electronically. The three letters of 
recommendation must be sent before the deadline, as well; it is up to 
the nominator and the candidate for the Prize to follow up on this.

Theses completed during the calendar year 2014 are eligible, as well as 
theses completed during the last quarter of 2013 (if they haven't been 
submitted before). The thesis prize submissions will be judged initially 
by members of UGBoD, followed by a panel of independent experts to 
select the final winner. Criteria for evaluation include quality of the 
written thesis, contribution of the student to the work, and 
contribution to JLab physics/community.

All materials must be sent by email to Lorelei Chopard (lorelei at jlab.org 
<mailto:lorelei at jlab.org>).

Please contact the chair of UGBoD (_johna at anl.gov 
<mailto:johna at anl.gov>_) for any questions.

This project is supported by the JSA Initiatives Fund Program 
(http://www.jsallc.org/ IF/IFIndex.html), a commitment from the JSA 
owners, SURA and PAE Applied Technologies. Initiatives Funds support 
programs, initiatives, and activities that further the scientific 
outreach, promote the science, education and technology of the Jefferson 
Lab and benefit the Lab's extended user community in ways that 
complement the Lab's basic and applied research missions.
