Bill Hall Prize

Terry Wu speaks about Bill Hall at the 2019 Award Ceremony.

The Bill Hall Prize for Excellence in Graduate Student Research is an annual award recognizing one or two senior graduate students who have made impactful and excellent contributions to knowledge. The award honors William C. Hall, a former primary faculty member of the Department of Neurobiology. Bill was an extraordinary electrophysiologist and anatomist who made seminal contributions to our knowledge of the circuitry and function of the superior colliculus. We are grateful to Terry Wu, a former graduate student of Bill Hall’s, who created the award and supports the honorarium annually.
