It is not too early to consider submitting your “A” research paper for the Dr. Joseph J. Bulmer Award for Excellence in Library Research!
A student must be nominated by the faculty member for whom the research assignment was completed, or may self nominate.
Award selection criteria are as follows:
- Extensive bibliography with minimum of five sources and various formats
- Evidence of initiative, persistence, and ingenuity in identifying sources
- Evidence of critical thinking in evaluating sources for credibility and appropriateness
- Correct citation format
- Free of plagiarism; i.e., authentic academic work only (papers may be reviewed using turnitin.com or similar software)
- Grade of “A”
A recipient is chosen every spring, and paper submissions are accepted from the previous summer session, fall semester, and current spring semester. This means if a student completed a research paper for summer session 2016, fall 2016, or spring 2017, it will be reviewed and considered.
The Bulmer Award comes with a monetary sum, recognition at the Student Honors ceremony and commencement, and the recipient’s name on a perpetual plaque in the Dwight Marvin Library Learning Commons. And, it looks great on a college transcript or resume!
For tips on how to earn that “A” grade, specifics on what is required, and to nominate your paper, simply follow the directions in the Bulmer Award Research Guide.
