1. W. Morgan Newton Graduate Student Research Award
This award has been established in honor of Dr. W. Morgan
Newton, the retired Director of the Animal Resource Facility. MBS
students are encouraged to participate in the Morgan Newton Symposium
but it is not mandatory. Participants submit an abstract based on some
aspect of their current research and make a 10-20 minute oral
presentation before the faculty and students. An award committee
consisting of one faculty member from each department selects a winner
and recognizes several highly ranked presentations worthy of ‘honorable
mention’. Selection criteria include the following: clarity and
organization of presentation, quality of research, analysis and
interpretation of data and understanding of the research demonstrated by
responses to questions. Those students selected for ‘honorable mention’
receive recognition and a check for $50. The winner receives a check
for $200 and a certificate presented at the Medical School Graduation
and Honors Day Ceremony in May. First place and honorable mention
winners are nominated to make presentations at the University-wide
Graduate Students’ Day held in April.
