W. Paul Jones Award
Application Deadline: Friday, March 7, 2008
The W. Paul Jones Award is given to a doctoral student in the Rhetoric and Professional
Communication Program in recognition of scholarly excellence. The award honors
Professor Jones’ dedication to the teaching of writing and to the use of clear and precise
language in imparting technical and scientific information.
Applicants must submit a scholarly paper written after admission to the ISU Ph.D.
Program in Rhetoric and Professional Communication. This work may be a seminar
paper written for an ISU graduate course, a conference paper, or a paper prepared for
publication, as long as its subject is rhetoric or professional communication. The
applicant must have been a full-time ISU graduate student for at least one semester
during the current academic year and must not have completed the preliminary
doctoral examination at the time of application.
The award recipient will be selected by a committee of graduate faculty members from
the Department of English, and the decision will be based solely upon the scholarly
merit of the submitted work.
Submit your completed applications (including this page and a form cover sheet) to the
Graduate English Office, Department of English, 403 Ross Hall.
