Do you bridge science and humanities? Consider the 2005 C.P. Snow Scholar Award.

Has your student career at Ithaca College been based on a perspective that bridges science and humanities? Do you believe that sciences and humanities can and should be integrated? You may then be a candidate for the C. P. Snow Scholar Award.

The award, which includes a certificate and $500, recognizes a student who has successfully combined scientific and humanistic studies at Ithaca College. Presentation of the award will be made on March 29 at the C.P. Snow Lecture of William Rathje.

C.P. Snow was a British philosopher, physicist, biographer, novelist, and social critic who believed that communication among mainstream scientists, social scientists, and humanists was the greatest avenue to social progress. Each year, Ithaca College sponsors a lecture series and student award that honor this principle.

  2. Demonstration of an interdisciplinary humanities and sciences orientation
  3. Two letters of recommendation from faculty members
  4. Minimum 3.0 GPA (submit transcript)
  5. A 1000-word essay. This should discuss how sciences and humanities may be integrated and how you have accomplished this perspective.
