Also, the Graduate Student Council calls for nominations by February 25 for the Wilson-DeBlois & Bates-Clapp Awards.

The GSC confers these awards annually to an individual who has made outstanding contributions to graduate students and the Graduate School. The award is given on behalf of all Brown graduate students to express their appreciation for the recipient´s dedication and commitment to graduate students at the University.

The Wilson-DeBlois Award goes to a staff member for contributions to doctoral students and the Graduate School and the Bates-Clapp Award for contributions to master’s students.
