1993 Chappell-Lougee Scholars announced

STANFORD -- Eight Stanford University undergraduate students have been named Chappell-Lougee Scholars for the 1993 academic year, Laura Selznick, director of the Undergraduate Research Opportunities (URO) office, has announced.

The Chappell-Lougee awards were established in memory of Harold Chappell of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., and in honor of his daughter, history Professor Carolyn Lougee, who served as dean of Undergraduate Studies from 1982 to 1987.

Freshman and sophomore scholars in the humanities and social sciences are nominated as Chappell-Lougee Scholars (by faculty members or self-nominated) with the goal of expanding students' horizons, range of knowledge and experience, and increasing interaction with faculty mentors.

The scholarships are worth up to $2,500 and can be used to buy out term-time earnings expectations or for research expense reimbursement. Criteria considered in evaluation include academic promise, quality of faculty support, and financial need.

Selznick thanked Gertrude Chappell, wife of Harold Chappell and mother of Carolyn Lougee, for additional funds that enabled the number of scholars to increase to a record high of eight this year.

"We had a record number of applications," Selznick said. "The number doubled over last year. There has been more interest from sophomores in doing research and more faculty support encouraging younger scholars."

The students, their majors (when applicable), hometowns, projects and faculty sponsors are:

Jaffe and Kohn also were recognized at the beginning of the school year as recipients of the President's Award for Academic Excellence In the Freshman Year; 49 of their classmates were similarly honored.
