Lahr Bequest Award, Master of Applied Linguistics ($100)
This annual award is given to a finishing postgraduate student of the Master of Applied Linguistics at Monash University. The award is given in recognition of both outstanding academic achievement, and strong contribution to academic leadership.
Academic achievement is defined here both quantitatively in terms of marks, but also qualitatively in terms of overall positive engagement with study in the Master of Applied Linguistics, and furthermore the demonstration of creativity, insight and innovation across the learning activities of the Masters program.
Academic leadership is defined here in terms of positive contribution to the learning experience of fellow students through formal/informal activities, including but not limited to peer mentoring, classroom interactions, and/or the positive promotion of applied linguistics in the classroom, across the university, and in the wider Australian and/or global communities.
Such students exemplify the aims of the Lahr Bequest and the wishes of its benefactor by enhancing the learning experience of their fellow students and the academic culture of the Master of Applied Linguistics program.
