LAST day to reward your best student

[Alla Smyslova]

Dear Colleagues:


Today is the LAST day to send
your nominations.
If you need
assistance or have any questions, please let me know me at as2157 at columbia.edu  and I will be happy to help.
 
For a quick reference, the
guidelines are below.
 
Looking forward to getting your nominations,
 
Dr. Alla A. Smyslova 
Chair, ACTR Post-Secondary
Russian Scholar Laureate Award Program
Senior Lecturer, Columbia University
Department of Slavic Languages
1130 Amsterdam Avenue
708 Hamilton Hall, MC 2839
New York, NY 10027-7215
 
THE GUIDELINES:

1. Deadline for nominations is March
1, 2014.

2. Nominations are accepted in electronic
format only, via e-mail to me at as2157 at columbia.edu  
3.
Nomination letters can be in the body of the e-mail or sent as an attachment.
Nomination letters should include the following information:

--Full name of student as it should appear on the Gramota. Nominees should be juniors or seniors.
Only one student can be nominated from each
institution. While larger Russian programs frequently have more than one
outstanding student, in order to preserve the integrity of the award, no more
than one student at a given
institution can be nominated to receive the PSRSLA.

--Description of why this student most deserves this award, i.e. how the
student promotes the study of Russian and models the behavior of a committed
Russian student. The student need not have the top GPA, nor be a Russian major,
but should demonstrate an active dedication--in course work, outside
activities, attitude--to the study of Russian language and culture.

--Name and contact information of the nominator who must be a member of ACTR*.
Since the nomination should reflect the consensus of the program or department,
your letter should be submitted over the signature of the program chair,
director, or DUS.

[*If
you are not a member of ACTR and would like to join, log on to the ACTR
Membership web site  https://membership.actr.org With your membership
you receive the ACTR Newsletter as well as a subscription to the Russian
Language Journal--a peer-reviewed publication that explores all aspects of the
Russian language and welcomes submissions.]

3. Award certificates will be mailed to nominators during March so that they
arrive prior to any departmental award ceremonies.
4.
When submitting a nomination letter, please provide a full mailing address.
