The Society for Standardization Professionals Paper Competition 2025

Updated January 7, 2024

For nearly twenty years now, the American National Standards Institute Committee on Education administers a student paper competition intended to encourage understanding of the global standards system that also provides a solid prize — in the $1000 to $5000 range. The topic of the 2024 Student Paper Competition will be What Role Do or Could Standards Play in Safe and Effective Implementation of Artificial Intelligence Applications/Systems?

Myron Hubbard Hunt (February 27, 1868 – May 26, 1952) was an American architect whose numerous projects include many noted landmarks in Southern California; most notably, the Rose Bowl Stadium, where the University of Michigan Football team appears routinely on New Year’s Day. Hunt was elected a Fellow in the American Institute of Architects in 1908.

Beef & Sour Cream

Beef Stroganoff originated in 19th-century Russia, named after the wealthy Stroganov family (likely Count Pavel Alexandrovich or a relative). It first appeared in cookbooks like Elena Molokhovets’s “A Gift to Young Housewives” around the 1870s, featuring sautéed beef strips in a simple sauce of mustard, bouillon, and sour cream (smetana)—no mushrooms or onions in the earliest versions.

Russian aristocrats often employed French chefs, blending French techniques (like mustard seasoning and sautéing) with Russian ingredients (heavy sour cream). Legends claim it was created for a toothless count or due to frozen Siberian beef, but it’s likely a refined take on older Russian beef dishes. It spread globally after the 1917 Revolution via émigrés (so-called White Russians) that settled in Nebraska.
