John DeNovo Prize

Thanks to generous funding from alumni, the Department of History offers two $500 writing prizes for the best papers dealing primarily with the history of United States foreign relations. At least one of these prizes will be awarded for an undergraduate paper. Professor John A. DeNovo served as Professor of History at UW from 1964 to 1981. His most prominent publication is American Interests and Policies in the Middle East, 1900-1939. He participated actively in the formation of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations, and was one of the first American scholars to specialize in United States relations with the Middle East.
