Dear All,<br>
<br>
No nominations came in for the Fred Stern prize and I want to
encourage people to reflect on those who graduated in 2013.<br>
<br>
We seem to oscillate from years with lots of very strong nominations
to years with none. Je ne sais pas pourquoi......<br>
<br>
Same arrangements as below but 12 June as final deadline.<br>

<pre>Nominations are sought for the Fred Stern Prize, the Department's prestigious prize for a PhD student who has demonstrated performance of exceptionally high quality.
Candidates should have had their PhD viva in the calendar year *2013*.
The nominator will normally be the supervisor and/or external examiner, but any member of staff can submit a nomination. Nominations will be assessed by the Head of Department and the Postgraduate Tutor, taking advice as appropriate.
A nomination should include a brief supporting statement which may include e.g.
- comments from the external examiner report (copies are held in the student record - ask Kayleigh if you want to see these)
- publications arising from the thesis/project
- prizes/awards or other external recognition of quality associated with the thesis/project
Nominations should be submitted to me by Wednesday 4th June 2014.
Gordon.
