Mayeux Award for Outstanding Honors Project

Patricia Gangwer Mayeux, a long-time employee at the University, has created an endowment, the income from which is used to fund prizes to be given annually to that year's outstanding Honors Projects. Prize(s) will be awarded at the Senior Reception in the spring. 

To be eligible for a Mayeux Award, a student must:

  • Submit a recorded presentation of your project by 12:00 PM on April 15, regardless of the semester in which you completed the project.
  • The recording can be of a previous presentation related to this project or specifically created for scholarship consideration.
  • Generally, this will be a separate, shorter presentation from the Honors project Defense.
  • Presentations can contain up to 8 PowerPoint slides and last up to 8 minutes in length. 
  • Submit recording to honors@bgsu.edu
  • Large files may need to be shared using Microsoft OneDrive and a shared link, rather than as an attachment.

Submit a final copy of the completed project to ScholarWorks by 12:00 PM on Monday of finals week during the semester in which you are enrolled.

  • Faculty advisors must submit a final grade in their Faculty Center by 12:00 PM on the Monday of finals week.
  • Earn an “A” for HNRS 4980 and HNRS 4990
