| Richard M. Fulrath Award Deadline for Nominations: December 5, 2007 |
||||||
The Richard M. Fulrath Awards shall consist of the following: Each of the awardees shall receive a certificate at the ACerS Annual Meeting banquet. This certificate will epitomize the "Bridge Across the Pacific" that the award has come to symbolize since its inception in 1978. The two academic awardees, one from the United States and one from Japan, shall each receive $2,000 to assist with their meeting travel expenses. These $2,000 travel awards for the academic recipients shall be contingent upon sufficient funds being available in the restricted Fulrath Award Endowment Fund maintained by ACerS. The industrial awardees shall be expected to attend the ACerS Annual Meeting at their company's expense. The responsibilities of the Richard M. Fulrath Awardees will be as follows: Attend the ACerS Annual Meeting and the banquet of that Annual Meeting to receive the award and certificate. Participate in the Fulrath Symposium, a half day symposium at the Annual Meeting and present a 20- or 40-minute technical paper addressing the topical area for which they were recognized. The American academic awardee will attend the annual meeting of the Ceramic Society of Japan the following year and present a paper at that meeting. While in Japan, the American awardees also are expected to visit universities and industrial laboratories and present seminars as arranged by members of the Japanese Fulrath Memorial Association Committee. The Fulrath Award is meant to honorably promote technical and personal friendships between Japanese and American professional ceramic engineers/scientists and encourage understanding among the diverse cultures surrounding the Pacific Rim.
