At the annual student symposium, El Día del Agua y la Atmósfera, the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences presents an Award of Excellence for the most outstanding oral presentation made by a HAS student (unless noted otherwise, excluding the Montgomery Prize winner) in any area of water and air research. The $500 award is made to recognize not only the student's excellence in oral presentation skills but also the relevance and impact his or her research efforts will have on society and also to encourage other students to develop and improve their oral presentation skills and to participate in future competitions.
The inaugural award was made in 1997.
