FACULTY & STAFF AWARDS
Jean Holloway Award
The Jean Holloway Award for Excellence in Teaching was created in 1970 with an endowment from past Texas Exes president Sterling Holloway and his wife, Jean.
It has been supplemented over the years by gifts from Jean’s daughter and her grandchildren. The award is presented annually to professors from the College of Liberal Arts or Natural Sciences who demonstrate a warm spirit, a concern for society and the individual, and the ability to impart knowledge while challenging students to independent inquiry and creative thought. They must also show a 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.
For questions, please email Daniel Jaramillo.
