Seeking academic stars in the freshman class

President John Hennessy is asking faculty and staff to nominate outstanding members of the current freshman class for the President’s Awards for Academic Excellence in the Freshman Year.

"Stanford University is committed to offering the best undergraduate experience possible, and we have made significant investments in enhancements to undergraduate education," he said. "With the President’s Awards, we recognize the students who set the standard for excellence and hope to inspire them to even greater achievements. The faculty and staff are our best ’talent scouts’ – they know who among their students demonstrates promising flashes of brilliance."

Eligible candidates must have completed normal first-year requirements. Nominations should be sent to Laura Selznick, Academic Director, Undergraduate Advising and Research, 102 Lasuen, 572 Mayfield Avenue, MC 8457, or emailed to selznick [a] stanford (p) edu by July 23.
