The Rupert Anderson Award in Systematics
The Rupert Anderson Award in Systematics is an annual award that is granted to faculty-student collaborators to conduct work with one of the department collections.
To apply, students meet with one of the participating faculty members:
Plants: Pamela Kittelson (pkittles@gustavus.edu) or Cindy Johnson (cindy@gustavus.edu)
Vertebrates: Jon Grinnell (grinnell@gustavus.edu), Joel Carlin (jcarlin@gustavus.edu), or Eric Elias (eelias@gustavus.edu)
Invertebrates: unavailable for 2011-2012.
Faculty-student collaborators develop and submit a short proposal in which they outline their plans to curate and present a portion of a collection on-line. Students are expected to present their project at an appropriate venue determined by their faculty sponsor and are acknowledged for their work at Honors Day.
