Ten Emporia State University graduate students will have some additional financial assistance driving their advanced studies, research and creative activities this fall. The students are recipients of Academic Achievement Awards for the 2008-2009 academic year.
The students were nominated by their professors and were selected by a committee representing ESU’s Graduate Council.
This year’s Academic Achievement Award recipients, hometowns, and their area of graduate study include:
• Carly Chadick, Wichita — psychology and special education;

Recipients of the AAA awards are required to pursue a worthwhile research project or perform a useful academic service under the direction of their major department. In addition to receiving a graduate assistantship in their major department, the students each receive an additional stipend of approximately $1,651.
