[Editors] awards folders, plaques needed for EECS event

[William T. G. Litant]

You get get blank certificate paper at University, too, with your choice of pre-printed boarders - they generally look better than a boarder your printer can do. I also like supporting local merchants whenever possible.

If you want to get real fancy, you can get wooden plaque kits - you place the certificate on the board, cover with the supplied plexi, and then tack the corners down with supplied brass tacks. I usually get mine from the great folks at University Stationery. I have examples of both in my office if you want to see (but need to do today as I'm on travel the rest of the week).
