Graduate Student Paper Prize Winners
Since 2014 NEPCA has honored two graduate students for outstanding papers delivered at the previous fall’s conference: The Carol Mitchell Award and the Amos St. Germain Award. These prizes are named in honor of two pillars of NEPCA who helped make it into a vibrant organization. Prior to 2014, just one award was given.
