Students are invited to apply for the Louis Sudler Prize in
the Arts and the President's
Commendation for Achievement in the Arts in recognition of
outstanding accomplishment in the arts
for the 2007-2008 academic year.
The Louis Sudler Prize for outstanding artistic talent
and achievement in the composition or
performance of music, drama, dance or the visual arts
— and whose submission is not related to his or
her major field of study — is awarded to a graduating
senior from the schools of Arts and Sciences,
Engineering and Nursing or the Peabody Institute, or a
fourth-year student in the School of Medicine.
The winner receives a $1,500 cash award, and his or her
name appears in the commencement program.
The President's Commendation for Achievement in the
Arts is awarded to a graduating senior in
Arts and Sciences or Engineering who has made a significant
contribution in the arts to the Homewood
campus. All art forms are eligible for consideration. The
winner receives a certificate, and his or her
name appears in the commencement program.
A committee of faculty and administrators from the
Homewood campus, Nursing, Peabody and
Medicine will review nominations and supporting materials
and make recommendations to President
William R. Brody, who will make the final selections. The
winners will be honored at the
Peabody/Homewood Double Degree Recital scheduled for March
2 on the Homewood campus.
The Sudler Prize was made possible through the
generosity of Louis Sudler, a Chicago
businessman and philanthropist, and is given out at a
number of colleges and universities, including
Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Purdue, Duke, Rice,
Stanford, Emory, Michigan State, Dartmouth,
Oberlin and MIT. The President's Commendation for
Achievement in the Arts was established in 1989
by Steven Muller, Johns Hopkins president from 1972 to
1990.
Students may apply simultaneously for both awards. The
deadline is Feb. 1. Guidelines and forms
are online at
