Boise State's Phi Kappa Phi Announces Student Writing Contest

The Boise State University chapter of Phi Kappa Phi announces the Wallace G. Kay-Phi Kappa Phi annual student writing contest. The award is named in honor of Kay, who was a Boise State professor of English and associate director of the Honors Program until his death in September 1996. Phi Kappa Phi is an interdisciplinary honor society that promotes superior scholarship. In this spirit Phi Kappa Phi solicits submissions of outstanding student papers written for any Boise State University course completed in the spring, summer or fall semester of 2003. Papers must be submitted by January 30, 2004; membership in Phi Kappa Phi is not required. Winners will be selected from each college by a panel of faculty evaluators. All college winners will be notified by the end of March and recognized during the Phi Kappa Phi initiation ceremony on Tuesday, April 13, 2004. Students may initiate the process, but a Faculty Nomination Form must accompany submitted papers. Detailed instructions and nomination forms are available from economics professor Peter Lichtenstein at plichten@boisestate.edu or visit http://phikappaphi.boisestate.edu -30- Contact Peter Lichtenstein Department of economics 208 426-1471 Media Contact Kathleen Craven communications and marketing 208 426-3275
