Robert B. Hawkins Graduate Award

The annual earnings of the Hawkins Graduate Award Endowment will be used to provide awards of at least $200 as part of the University’s Honors Day program. Recipients will be selected by the faculty of the Department of Applied Communication Studies and must:

• Be an active graduate student in Applied Communication Studies at SIUE
• Have accumulated 24 or more hours of graduate work by the end of the semester in which the award is given
• Show some combination of outstanding grades, meaningful participation in service activities, visible contributions to the discipline, and/or creativity.

In addition to the cash award, if funds permit, the Chair of the Department of Applied Communication Studies may also make disbursements from this account for a plaque and/or a one year subscription to a professional journal for the recipient.
