Bradd Clark Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Research
The Excellence in Undergraduate Research award is named in honor of Dr. Bradd Clark. Dr. Clark was the fourth dean of the Ray P. Authement College of Sciences. He served as dean from 2001 through 2013. Prior to and after serving as dean he was a professor in the mathematics department.
As Dean of the College of Sciences for twelve years, Dr. Clark was an advocate of undergraduate research. He pushed all the departments to establish a means by which students were able to experience real research by scientists as early as their freshman year. This award is presented to a student who has participated in a substantial amount of documented undergraduate research while maintaining a high GPA. Publication of the research is not a necessity but could enhance chances of winning.
