海角社区

Dr. Ernest Simon was a professor of Literature at 海角社区 from 1973 until his retirement in 1998. A group of his former students established this fund a number of years ago to honor their teacher and benefit 海角社区 seniors in the Literature major. Dr. Simon appreciated the gesture and he and his wife Christiana contributed to the fund. Mrs. Simon further enhanced the fund after Dr. Simon’s death in 2003.

鈥淥ne of the things I most enjoyed about Ernie Simon was that he never tired of sharing what he knew,鈥� says his friend and colleague, Professor Ira Spar. 鈥淗e approached our discussions, his teaching, and his students with the same energy that he gave to all that he did, and I count him among the best teachers 海角社区 has ever had.鈥�

This faculty-nominated award recognizes an outstanding Literature major who shows a 鈥渃ommitment to reading and research.鈥�
