FYE Prize
Candace Carlucci Backus '66 FYE Prize in Honor of Student Academic Achievement in
the First-Year Experience
The First-Year Experience Prize, supported with the generosity of Candace Carlucci
Backus ’66, will be awarded annually to up to three projects by first-year students
in recognition of exceptional scholarly or artistic achievement in the fall’s Scribner
Seminars.
During the spring semester, the First-Year Experience Office will solicit nominations
from the previous fall’s Scribner Seminar instructors. Nominations may be either for
individual or collaborative projects, and may include any kind of exemplary work –
written, visual, or performative.
