This year’s recipients are Dana McNish, daughter of Prof. Mariechen McNish of the Secondary and Special Education department, and Rebecca Meyers, daughter of Prof. Richard Meyers of the Computer Science Department. The application required that a transcript be submitted and that students be at least sophomores. Both students have better than a 3.0 cumulative grade point average.

Like the students, the adjunct faculty members must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. Prof. Christopher Parker is pursuing an Ed. D. in Pedagogy and Philosophy.
