Geology Awards
Each year the Earth and Environmental Sciences program gives three geology awards that recognize academic excellence.
William Stewart Award
This award goes to the outstanding senior in Geology. The award is based on academic excellence and is named after William Stewart who taught geology in the 1850's, and became president of Stewart College which was located on the grounds of APSU. The award comes with a plaque and an engraved rock hammer.
James Corgan Award
This award goes to the outstanding junior in Geology. The award is based on academic excellence and is named for the professor who started the geology program in 1972 and was a long-time chair. The award comes with a plaque.
Matthew Bebee Award
This award goes to an outstanding sophomore majoring in Geology and it is based on academic excellence as demonstrated in and outside the classroom. This award is named after a young geology faculty member in our department who lost his life to cancer. Matthew was well respected by students and faculty and this award honors his memory. This award is not given out in years where there are no students who meet the minimum qualifications. The award comes with a plaque.
