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 announced on the Friday of finals week.
To be eligible for a Mayeux Award, a student must:
- Submit a recorded presentation of your 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.

- Faculty advisors must submit a final grade in their Faculty Center by 12:00 PM on the Monday of finals week.
