ELLEN HANSEN MEMORIAL PRIZE
The Ellen Hansen Memorial Prize is awarded annually to a UCD woman student whose original creative project best demonstrates the bravery and independence of women. The $1,000 Prize is named for the student who was killed in 1981 while hiking in the Santa Cruz mountains. Ellen Hansen's courageous resistance allowed her hiking companion to escape and survive the attack. Her attacker was later identified as the "Trailside Killer."

Ellen's father, Robert J. Hansen, a UC Davis professor of Veterinary Medicine, established the annual award in 1986 as a tribute to his daughter, and to encourage the creative pursuits of other women students. Ellen was a UCD student and a talented artist, musician and poet.

Submit your completed entry form by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 10, 2008.

All work will be shown in a special exhibit in The Gallery at the MU, May 6-15, 2008. Log on to: http://wrrc.ucdavis.edu/ellenhansen/guidelines.html for detailed information
