Good morning all,

The University of Manitoba Distinguished Dissertation will be advertised to students shortly. I am giving you advance notice of this award as your faculty/school's nominations are due to the Faculty of Graduate Studies by *February 27*. You may wish to announce to faculty/students that you have your own internal deadline by which nominations must be submitted in order that your own review committee has time to assess and then choose the top candidate to forward to FGS. Please see this link http://webapps.cc.umanitoba.ca/gradawards/index.asp?WCI=SearchForm&WCE=browse&keywords=&criteria=any&category=0&citizen=0&range=0-1000000&tenable=0&byResearch=on&byAward=on&byEligibility=on&id=3083 for the award information.

Please ensure that all deans and directors are notified of this award and its' upcoming deadline.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Thanks, Christal
