ANSI Student Paper Competition paused for 2025
No award for the 2024 cycle (per COE Chairperson)
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?
Student Paper Competition Flyer 2024 – Entries due 7 June 2024
For the past six years Standards Michigan has hosted Saturday morning workshops to help students (and faculty) interested in entering the contest. We will soon post those dates on our CALENDER. We typically host them — three sessions ahead of the deadline — on Saturday mornings.
We provide links to previous paper winners and refer you to Lisa Rajchel: lrajchel@ansi.org for all other details.

The purpose of the American Standard for Nursery Stock — ANSI Z60.1 — is to provide buyers and sellers of nursery stock with a common terminology in order to facilitate transactions involving nursery stock. This standards establishes common techniques for
(a) measuring plants,
(b) specifying and stating the size of plants,
(c) determining the proper relationship between height and caliper, or height and width, and
(d) determining whether a root ball or container is large enough for a particular size plant.
This document — prepared under a grant to ANSI by AmericanHort — is a communication tool for the exchanges of products and services but does not provide buyers with any assurance of the health or quality of the nursery stock being specified or sold. It does not cover labor resources.

The 2014 revision should be entering another revision cycle though the pandemic has slowed standards setting among many non-profits. We encourage front-line staff to participate directly in the American Hort standards setting enterprise. CLICK HERE for contact information.

We continue sorting through anomalies with Godaddy Tech Support to resolve Standards Michigan requirement for frequent and timely updates across all of our platforms. We got half the problem solved last month when we upgraded to WordPress 6.8.1 but updating was slow on mobile devices. Now we need another PHP update. Our normal course of business will not be interrupted as far as our daily colloquia is concerned but we cannot predict the outcome on the images which are an essential part of our work.
The good news is that all our content, including media, survived the WordPress upgrade. The next step in our “GoDaddy Journey” will be the PHP upgrade this week. There will likely be surprises but none that we cannot handle.
Much like hardware in ICT, software must also be maintained.
This page will be posted to our X-feed: @StandardsMich to remind our colleagues and followers that software needs to be “maintained”
