The awarding of these certificates began in Fall, 1994. Up to five certificates are awarded each semester. The certificates are awarded in two categories: Junior (for students in their first three years in our graduate program); and Senior (for students beyond their first three years in our program). No individual can be awarded more than one certificate in a given academic year. Likewise, a student who wins the David Oxley Award in the fall cannot be awarded a certificate in the spring of the same academic year.
