The Crowley-Nowick Award is bestowed annually to two members of the Integrated Concentration in STEM (iCons) program who demonstrate outstanding leadership within the iCons community. This honor comes with a $1,000 scholarship.
The awardees will be formally announced in the spring.
Eligibility and Application Process
- All rising seniors and juniors (graduating in May or August) of the Integrated Concentration of STEM (iCons) Program at UMass Amherst in good standing are eligible for this award.
- Rising seniors and juniors may self-nominate or nominate an iCons peer.
Call for Nominations
A call for nominations will go out in late February/early March. The nomination will be accompanied by a description of how the candidate exemplifies the qualities of a leader, as determined by the iCons community:
"The recipient of this award should be an active listener and contributor who supports the needs of others in the iCons community, and is committed to the program and its vision; iCons isn’t just a class to this person. They unite their cohort and bring positivity to the iCons method of learning. Especially important is the open-minded nature of this person – their ability to listen to all group members and lead through challenging situations with fairness."
Nominations for the academic year 2022-2023 are due by 9:00 am EST on Tuesday, March 12, 2024 for rising juniors and seniors.
