Anthony Jung Award for Best Graduate Student Presentation

Anthony Jung, Professor Emeritus of German at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, served on the European Studies Conference Steering Committee from 1975 through 2009 and coordinated the event in 2002-2003.

For his service to the European Studies Conference and his support of students and young scholars, the ESC Steering Committee established in 2009 the Anthony Jung Award for the Best Graduate Student Presentation at the European Studies Conference. The Anthony Jung Award carries a $250 prize. The full text of the winning paper will be published in the ESC Selected Proceedings.

Application Procedure:

• Graduate students participating in the European Studies Conference must be pre-registered for the conference at the time of submission. 

• Graduate students submit the presentation by e-mail attachment to Dr. Mark Celinscak at mcelinscak@unomaha.edu  by September 15.

• Submissions are reviewed by the Award Selection Committee made up of the members of the ESC Steering Committee. Selection is based on a ranking according to five criteria: originality of research; scholarly context (reference to current research on topic); mechanics and style; coherent thesis statement; and contribution in the field of study.
