The Student Member with Honors Award was established in 1999 to acknowledge students who have made an outstanding contribution to the discipline or to HFES during their tenure as a student. This designation honors students who have made outstanding contributions to the discipline and/or HFES during their tenure as students. To qualify, students must meet all of the following eligibility requirements:
-
Student membership in HFES for at least six months prior to application
-
Classified as a graduate student, or class standing of junior or senior for an undergraduate
-
Minimum GPA of 3.75 for graduate students; minimum GPA of 3.50 for undergraduate students
- Successful completion of at least three HF/E-related courses with an A grade
- Significant HF/E-related service to HFES (e.g., leadership roles at student chapters and technical groups)
- One letter of recommendation from a faculty member, which specifies and demonstrates the outstanding contributions made by the student. This letter of endorsement from the faculty member is critical to the application. The letter should highlight the outstanding contributions of the student and indicate how those achievements meet the requirements for the student to be recognized as a Student Member with Honors in the Society by distinguishing the student from their peers.
In addition, at least two of the following three conditions must be met:
- First author of an HF/E research paper published in an approved journal
- Presenter of an HF/E-related lecture at a national or international conference
- Evidence of significant contribution to an industry project
The submission deadline was June 30, 2024. Please check back for information concerning the 2025 call for applications.
Student Chapter Awards
The Student Chapter Awards were established to recognize chapters for their contributions and achievements (both the number and quality of activities) across a number of categories as listed below, with emphasis on demonstrated excellence in a specified number of areas. The levels of recognition are as follows:
- GOLD requires activity in at least eight categories with excellence in at least five categories, and at least 50% of the student members being HFES Student Affiliate members.
- SILVER requires activity in at least five categories with excellence in at least three categories, and at least 40% of the student members being HFES Student Affiliate members.
- BRONZE requires activity in at least three categories with excellence in at least two categories, and at least 25% of the student members being HFES Student Affiliate members.
Chapters must clearly indicate the recognition level sought (Gold, Silver, or Bronze), provide supporting materials that document the various activities of the chapter in each category, and provide a letter of recommendation from the chapter adviser. We encourage chapters to submit other materials that will support the application, such as brochures, announcements, or images from events, videos, and Web sites. Please include all supporting material electronically as part of the application, and provide a short narrative that sufficiently details your accomplishments in each activity category.
The submission deadline was June 30, 2024. Please check back for information concerning the 2025 call for applications.
Submitting Your Application
The application submission deadline for both the Student Member with Honors and the Student Chapter Award is June 30, annually. Be sure to read the complete application details before submitting. Compile the completed application materials into a single PDF file and submit it to the above links as applicable.
Please direct any questions to Xiaomei Wang (xiaomei.wang@louisville.edu).
