1997 Undergraduate Award Nomination Information The Computing Research Association is pleased to announce the third annual CRA Undergraduate Award program, which recognizes undergraduate students who show exceptional promise in an area of importance to computing research. The 1997 award is made possible by the generous support of Microsoft Corp. A cash prize of $1,000 will be awarded to each of two undergraduate students, one female and one male, who are majoring in computer science, computer engineering or an equivalent program. A number of other outstanding candidates will receive certificates of honorable mention. The awards will be presented at one of the major computing research conferences sponsored by CRA, ACM, the IEEE Computer Society, SIAM or AAAI. The two first-prize winners will receive financial assistance toward their travel to the conference. CRA encourages home departments to provide similar assistance to the other winners. Because this is a relatively new award, many faculty and students have not yet heard about it. We encourage you to make it widely known in your department. The award is an outstanding way to recognize your best students and your department. Criteria for selection of winners: 1. Evidence of unusual talent in some area of computing research as demonstrated by one or more of the following: a) Significant research contributions, individual or as a member of a team. b) Creation of highly innovative software or hardware design. c) Demonstration of exceptional leadership or vision in a field of computing research. d) Other evidence of extraordinary interest, excellence or commitment to computer science and engineering, including industrial experience, participation in special programs and mentoring or tutoring of other students. 2.
