I must share, but I'll be brief. Joseph is flying to Chicago today to accept the Johnson Prize from the UChicago during tomorrow's convocation in the MA Program in the Social Sciences. I'm so proud of him. He's tried to down-play the significance of the award, but it the prestigious award for MAPSS. Actually, I think he's pretty proud of himself, too, but doesn't want to show it.


The Earl S. and Esther Johnson Prize is awarded annually to that student in the Master of Arts Program in the Social Sciences whose paper best combines high scholarly achievement with concern for humanistic aspirations and the practical applications of the Social Sciences. The $1,000 Prize was established in the memory of the founder and long-time director of the Program. It is awarded in the spring of each year to the writer of an M.A. paper submitted the preceding academic year. Papers that meet the prize criteria and earn a grade of A are automatically considered.

I'm a little concerned about the weather so any good thoughts and prayers for a safe trip for him would be appreciated. And thanks for letting me share my pride in his achievement.
