General Information
This award has been named in honor of Ray Lombra’s eighteen years of service as an associate dean in the college and recognizes high-quality contributions to the humanities and the social sciences by enrolled graduate students working toward their advanced degrees. Awards are made each year—in the humanities and in the social sciences—for the best articles or books published or forthcoming by graduate students registered in the college.

Eligibility
To be considered for this award, a graduate student must meet the following criteria:
- the article or book should have been published in the current calendar year or is forthcoming, in press;
- the student should be the sole author, or, in the case of joint authorship, the senior author (as attested to by the director of graduate studies).
The overriding criterion is excellence. Considerable weight will be accorded to the standing of the journal or the press publishing the research. Normally, papers should be in refereed journals. For forthcoming publications, all requested revisions must be complete by the time of nomination.
