Samuel H.
Smith Leadership Award
This
award was established by AFW in recognition of the efforts
of Dr. Sam Smith (WSU President 1985-2000) to promote the role of women
at
WSU. During his tenure as WSU's President, yearly salary equity
reviews, a sexual harassment policy, and faculty partner accommodation
plans
were instituted. The concept of the award was first announced at
a reception in his honor on November 3, 1999, and it was first awarded
in 2000.
The award is presented annually to an AFW member who has a
strong record of leadership in advancing the role of women in the
Washington State University system and/or who has demonstrated
leadership in higher education, the community, or her profession at the
local, state, regional, national, and/or international level in
private, government, or professional organizations.

Outstanding Women in Graduate
Studies Awards
In the mid 1980's, the Association
for Faculty Women established two annual awards for outstanding women
in graduate studies at WSU. These awards recognize superlative
academic and scholarly achievements, as well as the professional
potential of WSU's women graduate students. Both full-time and
part-time women students who are completing WSU graduate degrees in any
field at any WSU location are eligible.
The AFW Harriett B. Rigas Award recognizes the accomplishments of an outstanding doctoral student. It was named in honor of Harriett B. Rigas , a former faculty member at WSU and an electrical engineer with an international reputation for her hybrid computer and computer simulation research. The AFW Founders Award recognizes the accomplishments
of an outstanding master's student. |
