Bauer Award

The Bauer Family has established The Virgil '41 & Lou '41 Bauer Memorial Fund to support faculty professional development. From experience they know applying for scarce funds in an academic environment can be challenging and futile and want to ensure more awards are available to HCC faculty. Two $1,000 awards will be given annually.

Summary of the Bauer Award:

• The purpose of the Awards are to support HCC faculty development.
• The Awards will be presented at commencement.
• The Awards will be made based on proposals from HCC faculty members.
