RE:      THE FELIKS GROSS ENDOWMENT AWARD &

            WILLIAM STEWART TRAVEL AWARDS

 

Dear Colleagues:

 

            The CUNY Academy for the Humanities and Sciences presents the Feliks Gross Endowment Award each year to untenured assistant professors – usually two – from any unit of CUNY who, through their research, show promise of making a worthwhile contribution to their field, the university, and academia. The award for the year 2010 will go to assistant professors in any area of the humanities, social sciences, or natural sciences.

 

            The Academy would appreciate your recommending any person from your department or college whom you deem worthy of receiving such an award. The recipients will receive an honorarium of $500 plus a plaque to be presented at a formal ceremony in May, 2010.

 

            Please complete the enclosed nominating form at your earliest convenience and return to the Academy office by March 31, 2010.

 

            Also enclosed is the announcement of William Stewart Travel Awards for this year.  Please circulate and post widely.   The Academy thanks you for your assistance.

 

                                                                        Sincerely yours,

 

                                                                        Susan O’Malley            Henry Wasser
                                                                        President                      Executive Director
