Award
Louis R. Bragg Graduating Senior Award
The award was initiated in 1995 by a gift from Professor Lou Bragg and is intended for graduating seniors in the mathematical sciences. The award is normally given to one individual in the mathematical sciences (mathematics, mathematics with secondary education, statistics, or actuarial science) per year. (In rare circumstances, two graduates may share the award, or we may find no one deserving in a given year.)
As for selection criteria, the awardee should, at the very minimum, qualify for departmental honors. Beyond that, the Award Committee, consisting of three department faculty members, is permitted to develop its own criteria. Some possibilities include examining the overall GPA, the GPA in the mathematical science courses, the level of difficulty of the mathematical science courses taken, participation in the Putnam competition, contributions in undergraduate research projects, leadership roles, and possible plans for graduate study.
