To obtain the award, the Faculty Advisor or other university official should supply the Program Manager, Student Affairs with the name and permanent home address of the candidate as soon as possible after completion of the third year. The Student Chapters' Merit Award is offered as a means of recognizing and encouraging initiative and originality in Student Chapter programming. Each Student Chapter should submit to the Program Manager, Student Affairs by April 1st of each year, a report concerning the activities of the Chapter during the previous 12 months. It should be a comprehensive, concise and factual account of Club activities and statistics. These reports will be used as a basis for choosing the Student Chapter that has shown the greatest initiative and originality in their programming.

The graduate student award will be designated to honour Doug Ryan and Walter Harris on alternate years. Only graduate students will be eligible. In 1996, the Chemical Education Division focused attention on initiatives directed toward encouraging student participation in the education sessions at annual conferences. We are now able to offer a prize each year to the best paper presented by a graduate or undergraduate student at the education sessions at CSC and CSChE conferences. The first award was presented at the CSC Windsor conference in June 1997 to two enthusiastic graduate students from the University of Victoria, Laurel Clouston and Mark Kleinman, for their presentation on how to create an active learning environment in the undergraduate classroom.
