Jean Holloway Award for Excellence in Teaching

Created in 1970 with an endowment from past Texas Exes president Sterling Holloway and his wife, Jean Holloway, and supplemented over the years by gifts from her daughter and her grandchildren, the Jean Holloway Award for Excellence in Teaching is presented to a teacher in either the College of Liberal Arts or Natural Sciences. Recipients must reflect the purpose of the award, by demonstrating warmth of spirit, a concern for society and the individual, and the ability to impart knowledge while challenging students to independent inquiry and creative thought, as well as respect for and understanding of the permanent values of our culture. The award amounts to more than $4,500 annually, and the nomination and selection process is done solely by students.
