Student Awards
Jerome H. Remick
Poster Awards
Cash awards and certificates of merit are presented at each annual meeting
to outstanding poster presenters. The Jerome H. Remick Trust Fund of the
Geological Association of Canada supports these awards. This Fund was
established in 1994 with monies donated by
Jerome H. Remick III,
a long-time member and former Chairman of the GAC® Membership Committee. The express
purpose of the fund is to sponsor Poster Awards for meritorious posters at the
GAC®-MAC Annual Meetings and possible other venues approved by GAC® Council. ( Mr. Remick passed away on March 1, 2005. Click here for tribute. )
The purpose of the Remick Poster Awards is to acknowledge the growing
use of posters as a legitimate geoscience communication vehicle, and to encourage
higher standards by recognizing the best posters at any given meeting. The specific
guidelines for making the poster awards will be the purview of the GAC® Program Committee,
and these will be periodically reviewed and updated as necessary to reflect evolving
presentation techniques.
The current prize value for the awards is: Gold - $1000, Silver -
$900, Bronze - $800.
