Named in honor of two legendary SMPA faculty members, the Manheim-Sterling Undergraduate Research Prizes are designed to support and encourage outstanding mentored undergraduate research and creative activity in the School of Media and Public Affairs.
SMPA awards two prizes each academic year, one for a political communication major and one for a journalism/mass communication major. Students must have an SMPA faculty mentor for their project or be engaged in collaborative research with an SMPA faculty mentor to qualify for these awards.
The awards are designed to afford students an opportunity to partake of the many benefits that result from undertaking a serious research project or creative work and from establishing a close mentoring relationship with a faculty member.
