Each year, the CentER Graduate School announces the call for papers for the Best Graduate Student Paper Award, which is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the exceptional talent within our graduate community. The award aims to spotlight outstanding research contributions by PhD candidates associated with the CentER Graduate School.
The job market placement committee encourages all students going on the job market to submit their job market paper for the award, but PhD students in earlier in the program who have a good completed working paper should also submit.
