Submitted on behalf of William M. Kay, Acting Director of Grants and Sponsored Projects, and the Whalen Symposium Steering Committee:

We are pleased to announce the winners of the Whalen Symposium Awards for Outstanding Student Research. We could not fully recognize the range of impressive research seen at the Symposium and hope that those whose proposals were not selected will present at next year’s Symposium. Above all, we congratulate the award winners for the dedication to learning and research that their presentations displayed.
