Award review panels elect winning papers from among those nominated by advisors. An RWP award recognition ceremony convenes the morning of graduation day. Many of the award-winning papers, as well as other RWP papers, are published in professional periodicals. Students interested in intensive work on a particular topic can develop, with a faculty member, a research agenda designed to give them an in-depth understanding of the subject. To enroll in this course, a student should develop, with an instructor, a research proposal and a reading list.
Enrollment is limited and requires the approval of the assistant dean.
