Recipients of the award may be members of the ESU community, such as faculty or staff, or members of the larger Emporia community.
Ruth Schillinger Award
Ruth Schillinger was a beloved faculty member at Emporia State University in the mid-twentieth century. She was also ESU's last Dean of Women. Dr. Schillinger died in 1997 and is commemorated through this annual award. Past recipients have included Dr. Betsy Yanik, Dr. Ellen Hansen, former Dean Marie Miller, Dr. Gaelynn Wolf Bordonaro, and Professor Amy Sage Webb. The complete list of past recipients is available on the Ethnic and Gender Studies website.
The Ruth Schillinger Award is presented to a member of the faculty who has been nominated by a colleague, student, or other interested individual. The text on the plaque reads: "The Ruth Schillinger Faculty Award for Outstanding Service to the Women of Emporia State University is presented to (Prof X) in recognition of her/his many contributions to the lives of Emporia women." The recipient should be involved in service to the women of Emporia State University in capacities such as teaching, mentoring, advising and/or publishing.
