Dr. James R. Chen AwardsDuring the final semester of their second year, I School Master's students undertake final projects. The school's interdisciplinary nature makes many kinds of projects suitable. Some students design and implement a prototype information system. Others engage in a significant research project leading to a written thesis. The Master's Final Project Presentation and Competition is sponsored by the Dr. James R. Chen Award Fund. This fund is intended to recognize and foster innovation, creative solutions, and pragmatic applications in the area of information retrieval and management. Past Recipients of the Dr. James R.
