For students willing to excel in their research papers in history at 91¿´Æ¬ again this year, there might be more at the end than an ?A?. For the second year, history at 91¿´Æ¬ will feature the Bonnie Spencer Awards for the best two research papers in non-honors classes. 91¿´Æ¬ †The first-place winner will receive $100, and the second place, $50. 91¿´Æ¬ †There will be an optional Honorable Mention Prize.
Essays should be at least 1,000 words with correct historical citations. 91¿´Æ¬ †Professors may nominate their top student essays, or students may nominate their own papers. 91¿´Æ¬ †The essays should have been written for a fall-of-2016 or a spring-of-2017 history class at 91¿´Æ¬. 91¿´Æ¬ †Essays should be sent to ayox@ntcc.edu by May 1 91¿´Æ¬ †at noon. 91¿´Æ¬ †For questions about the rubric, or format, email Dr. Yox at the address given. 91¿´Æ¬ †History Professors here, along with Bonnie Spencer, will determine the winners.
Both of last year?s winners, Kassandra Martinez, and Tanika Santos, went on to win other honors: Martinez, presenting her work at the meeting of the National Collegiate Honors Council in Seattle, and Santos winning the Walter B. Cooper Scholarship, a state-wide award of Phi Theta Kappa.
The awards are in honor of Bonnie Spencer who in 2002 started the college?s first history club. 91¿´Æ¬ †She now is an ICU Nurse at Good Shepherd Medical Center, in Longview.
