Distinction in Research and Creative Work
Both Seminar and Practicum projects and Senior Theses are eligible. Seminar and Practicum students may be nominated by their instructor, or may self-nominate. Thesis writers may be nominated by one of their advisors, or may self-nominate. To receive Distinction, a committee of CSWGS faculty must judge it to be an outstanding and original creative work or research paper.
