The S4 Graduate Student Paper Prize is given for a graduate student paper that employs spatial analysis/thinking or GIS. The next submission deadline will be in March 2026. Only complete papers will be judged, but it's fine for manuscripts to be in draft format (or even recently published). The winner will receive a prize of $500 and will be invited to present their paper as part of the S4 speaker series in the Spring 2026 semester. Many of you are writing papers - why not submit them? To be considered for the prize, simply email Kevin Mwenda a pdf of your paper by the deadline. Papers co-authored with other current students are fine, but not with faculty.
