Nominate Your Thesis
ProCES invites students who have completed independent work on a community-engaged topic to submit their thesis for consideration by Wednesday, May 3rd at 11:59pm. To apply, students submit the following documents to [email protected]:
- Your thesis;
- A short (5-7 page) report that communicates the important conclusions of your project to a non-academic audience—likely your community partner organization. You might consider this short document to be a type of policy brief, white paper, or business report. This report should be adapted (not cut and pasted) from your thesis and should:
- discuss the relevance of your work for a particular community or community organization
- highlight the implications of your research for current policies and practices in that community/community organization
- provide strategic policy and practice recommendations for the community/community organization.
