Hi all,

I've written Jessie Motts to ask her for her CV and a list of
achievements, and will get going on the nomination letter. The award
requires one or two (ideally two) other letters of support. I think
Eric and Jody have worked with Jessie but maybe all of you have?
Please let me know who's up for writing a short letter by this
weekend. I'll forward you Jessie's materials as soon as she sends them
to me.

The letter should focus on the student's "outstanding record of
academic achievement and sustained and significant contributions to
the intellectual climate of a department, an academic division, or the
campus."

Thank you all, and apologies for bothering you during break!

Cathy
