Teacher of the Year

A. I. Levorsen Memorial Award

RECIPIENTS

The A. I. Levorsen Memorial Award recognizes the best paper presented at each AAPG Section meeting, with particular emphasis on creative thinking toward new ideas in exploration. The award is made at the Section meetings for papers presented at the previous year’s meetings.

Restrictions

The recipient need not be a member of AAPG; selection is made from among all papers presented at a particular Section meeting. Since a significant part of the scoring is based on quality of presentation, only the individual presenting the paper receives the award.

Guidelines for Consideration of Candidates

Each Section is responsible for establishing a judging committee to serve at the Section meeting. Papers are judged by this Committee according to creative thinking, organization, delivery, and visual aids.

Procedure

The selection of the judging committee is conveyed by the Section to Headquarters for preparation of the award.

Description of Award

The award is a walnut plaque, displaying the AAPG emblem and a brass plate inscribed with the recipient’s name, the date, and the Section meeting at which the paper was presented. Co-authors receive individual certificates patterned after the plaque with their names and like information.

History

This award is perpetuated by the A. I. Levorsen Memorial Award Fund, established in 1966 by Dr. Levorsen’s friends, who wished to create a lasting memorial to him.
