Memo from Annette Chappell to Sara Coulter and Elaine Hedges, 1996

June 13, 1986 Sara Coulter and Elaine Hedges Annette Chappell, Dean Commencement honors Elizabeth McHale has pointed out that becuase it's subsumed under General Studies, Women's Studies doesn't get much recognition at Commencement unless, as was the case last year,there is a student grant in Women's Studies. I would certainly be amenable to the establishment of an annual award in Women's Studies. While some awards, such as the Gerry Buettner, carry monetary prizes and some include a book or plaque, most consist of a certificate of recognition and a letter of congratulations. I like the idea of giving public recognition to students who have acquitted themselves with distinction. Please give the matter your consideration and let me know what you think. cc: Elizabeth McHale dk
