Nominate a Deserving Longhorn for the Holloway and Vick Awards

The Jean Holloway Award 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. Now the award is presented annually to a teacher in the College of Liberal Arts or Natural Sciences.

Recipients must 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.

We ask for your assistance in recognizing outstanding teachers by submitting your nomination today.


Deadline to submit nominations is Friday, Nov. 12, 2021, at 11:59 p.m.
