Center for Research on Vermont
Student Research Awards
The Center constantly seeks new ways to
promote and facilitate Vermont research. One such innovation, begun in
1982, is the
Nuquist Award, a statewide competition to encourage
excellence in
undergraduate research on Vermont topics. Named in memory of
UVM
Political Science Professor Andrew E. Nuquist and cosponsored by Vermont
Life Magazine, this award is offered annually for a project
exemplifying outstanding undergraduate treatment of a Vermont theme.
In
1997 the Center inaugurated an award in memory of George B. Bryan
(1939–1996), Professor of
Theatre and former Director of the Center for Research on Vermont, for
excellence in student research on Vermont as exemplified in a
one-semester course project.
Lifetime Acheivement Award
The Center recognizes individuals who have made outstanding
contributions to the state of Vermont with our annual Lifetime
Acheivement Awards. Recipients are researchers, government
leaders, community leaders, teachers, artists, historians who have had
enduring, significant, and positive influences on the state, including
our culture, civic life, research and educational institutions, and the
daily lives of Vermonters.
