Other scholarly activities may be considered in the selection process, but the main emphasis will be on duties performed and contributions made, with a secondary emphasis on GPA. 

The Doctoral Student of the Year is recognized at the CHaSS Awards Ceremony and will represent CHaSS in the annual Robins Award competition.

  • A letter of nomination from the department head or designee, which is no more than two single-spaced pages and addresses the criteria above
  • A three-page narrative that demonstrates the candidate’s qualifications for the award
  • Abbreviated CV related to the award’s criteria

Nominations are due December 15 to the CHaSS Deans Office (338 OM) or via email to chass@usu.edu.
