The ANS Samuel Glasstone Award is administered jointly by the Student Sections Committee (SSC) and the Education, Training and Workforce Development Division (ETWDD) of the ANS. The purpose of the Glasstone Award is to recognize and reward outstanding student sections. Recipients receive a monetary award and a certificate. 

Glasstone Award Submissions

Deadline: May 1

Submissions for the Glasstone Award must be received by ANS and the Student Sections Committee by May 1 of the judging year. The judges recognize that this is the thick of finals time for most sections. We can accept reports a little late, but packets need to be finalized a couple of weeks before the ANS Annual Meeting.

Send your submissions as a Microsoft Word (.doc) or Adobe Acrobat (PDF) document to ssc@ans.org, and CC: honors@ans.org.  You will receive a confirmation that your submission was received.

Glasstone award submissions should include a report on your membership and participation, events that the section planned or participated in, and anything else of interest related to the student section. There is no required format, but past reports from winners are provided below to serve as guidance.
