Historical Section Emanuel D. Rudolph Award Best Student Presentation
Each year the Historical Section of the Botanical
Society will offer an award for the best student presentation
of a historical nature at the annual meetings. A judging committee
evaluates each student presentation and selects a winner based
on the quality of the work and the presentation. The recipient
of the award receives a certificate, a cash award, and is a guest
of the Section at the BSA banquet.
