Awards recognize outstanding student research papers

Joyner Library at ECU will host the Rhem/Schwarzmann Awards at 5 p.m. on March 18 in the library.

The award recognize outstanding research papers by ECu sophomores, juniors and seniors, with cash prizes in the amount of $750, $500 and $250 awarded to first-, second- and third-place winners. Papers may be in any field of study, but should be based largely on primary sources held by the library’s manuscripts and rare book/archives departments.

The awards were established by Ann Schwarzmann to honor William and Emily Rhem and Theodore and Ann Schwarzmann.
