The Janet Tritsch Memorial Award has become a symbol of excellence for undergraduate psychology research at Illinois. The award was established in 1975 by the family and friends of Janet Tritsch who as an undergraduate student was active in psychology research. The award recognizes outstanding research by an undergraduate working in any area of Psychology and is accompanied by a $500 prize. An outstanding Bachelor's Thesis that has been submitted for Departmental Distinction* can be nominated for the Janet Tritsch Memorial Award by the student's research advisor. The research advisor must submit a separate letter of nomination for the Janet Tritsch Memorial Award. The nomination letter must explain why the thesis and the student are particularly exceptional and should receive the special recognition conferred by the Janet Tritsch Memorial Award. The letter of nomination must be submitted electronically or in paper to the Secretary for the Associate Head for Undergraduate Affairs (Katie Beall, email: sbeall@illinois.edu ) by noon on April 23rd.
