Exceptional master's and doctoral students were recognized in June for their academic achievements with awards presented on June 18. Scroll down for the slide show of photos of the ceremony.
The annual Best Dissertation Awards are intended to recognize important scholarly contributions by graduate students. Dissertations from any discipline that are based on significant original research, raise thought-provoking questions in the field, and open up new perspectives are recognized. The University Doctoral Committee aims to reward imaginative research that takes an innovative approach in terms of sources, methodology, and/or research questions.
Note that the 2014-15 award winners for the Accelerated One-Year MBA, the MSc-IT Management and the Master's of Finance Programs will be announced in August 2015 due to continuation of classes through July 31, 2015.
