Emma Cashman Wins George B. Bryan Award for Scholarship at UVM

Emma Cashman received the George B. Bryan Award For Scholarship in the department of theatre this semester at the University of Vermont.

The award reflects the belief that sound theatre practice is grounded in a firm grasp of theatre history, literature, and theory. To that end, it recognizes the department major or minor whose scholarly work reflects high achievement through effective research techniques, exemplary writing skills, and keen analytical insight. A student whose average in theatre courses is 3.0 or better is eligible for consideration for the award, but that is not the only criterion. Of particular importance is the student's performance in the history and criticism courses of the department, but the student's cumulative grade point average is also weighed. As in other areas of theatrical activity, the department stresses the process as well as the product of scholarly endeavors. The award is determined by a majority vote of the faculty, who may decide to withhold it in any year or years.
