Allen Newell Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Research
--This award is presented annually by the School of Computer Science. Allen Newell had a long and rich scientific career that contributed to multiple subdisciplines in computer science. Still, each individual endeavor was pursued with a characteristic style that his colleagues, students, and friends recognized as essential to Allen. Because of the breadth of scope of Allen's contributions, this award recognizes undergraduate research in his scientific style rather than computer science research in a particular area. The criteria by which a research project is judged is predicated, foremost, on the belief that a good idea is not enough.
