Phi Kappa Phi Announces Annual Writing Competition

The Boise State University chapter of Phi Kappa Phi has announced the annual Wallace G. Kay-Phi Kappa Phi student writing competition. The award is named after Wallace G. Kay, who was a 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 course completed in the spring, summer or fall semester of 2006. Winners will be selected by a panel of faculty evaluators within each college and notified by mid-March. Student winners will be recognized during the Phi Kappa Phi initiation ceremony on April 15, 2007, and each winning paper will receive a $200 award.

Deadline for submission is Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2007. Students may initiate the process, but a Faculty Nomination Form must accompany submitted papers. Detailed instructions and nomination forms are available at the Phi Kappa Phi Web site, phikappaphi.boisestate.edu.
