GRADUATE STUDENT & ALUMNI AWARDS
The Higher Education Administration program at The University of Texas at Austin proudly invites applications for three new awards that recognize student and alumni excellence. We invite applications for two prestigious graduate student awards and one alumni award meant to honor academic and service excellence within our scholarly and professional community. The application deadline is May 3rd, 2013.
The Dr. Sharon H. Justice Student Leadership Award and the Dr. Bill Lasher Doctoral Student Excellence Award will annually recognize outstanding scholarship and professionalism by graduate students in our Higher Education Administration program. A third award, the Dr. V. Ray Cardozier Alumni Excellence Award will periodically recognize a graduate of the Higher Education Administration doctoral program.
AWARD DESCRIPTIONS
The Dr. Sharon H. Justice Student Leadership Award will be awarded annually to an outstanding Master’s student in the College & University Student Personnel Administration program. Dr. Justice has served the University for many years in the capacity of Dean of Students as well as an adjunct faculty member within our master’s program. Her contributions to our University are innumerable, as she has positively touched the lives of countless undergraduate and graduate students as well as student affairs professionals across the country. Named to honor her legacy, this award will recognize an individual who embodies the leadership and service to the program and the University that Dr. Justice has demonstrated throughout the years.
The Dr. Bill Lasher Doctoral Student Excellence Award will be awarded annually to an outstanding doctoral student in the Higher Education Administration program. Dr. Lasher joined the faculty of our program in the early 1990’s while still serving the University in a variety of administrative leadership roles. His exemplary legacy as a practitioner and nationally-recognized leader in institutional research helped to launch the program’s stature. He also served admirably as the program head for over a decade, ushering a period of great expansion and building up the program to what it is today. To honor his legacy, this award will recognize a doctoral student who has demonstrated research, academic, and teaching excellence as well as leadership and service.
The Dr. V. Ray Cardozier Alumni Excellence Award will be awarded periodically to a graduate from the Higher Education Administration doctoral program. In 1983, Dr. Cardozier joined the Department of Educational Administration as the first full-time faculty member specializing in higher education administration. To recognize and honor his important legacy as the de facto founder of our doctoral program, we have established this award to recognize a graduate that has recently demonstrated excellence in scholarly/professional work. Nominees for this award will be accepted on an ad hoc or periodic basis (no more than once per year).
For more information about these awards contact Linda Overton (Linda.Overton@austin.utexas.edu).

The Dr. Bill Lasher Doctoral Student Excellence Award is awarded to an outstanding student in the Higher Education Administration doctoral program.
These student awards are named in honor of two individuals that have contributed immeasurably to the development of PHEL over the last two decades. Awardees will be announced at the upcoming PHEL end of year ceremony in the late spring. The names of our award winners will be memorialized in plaques that are permanently displayed in our HEAP “glass case” on the 3rd floor of the George I. Sanchez building. Thank you to Dr. Gregory Vincent for his support of these purchases last year.
The application deadline is May 3rd, 2013

Happy Fall everyone! It’s been a long month, but we’re nearly a third of the way through the fall semester! Here’s what has been going on while we have been terrible bloggers:
HEASPA Fundraiser Success! Thanks to all of you coming out to Austin’s Pizza, we managed to raise $108 to spend on professional development events for the rest of the year. Thank you all so much for your time and generosity, and thanks again to Austin’s Pizza!
This Thursday (September 27), find out more about the inner workings of UT and its plans for the year at President Powers’ State of the University Address. The speech will be held in the B. Iden Payne Theater (in the Winship Building) at 4pm.
Register for the annual Texas Association of College and University Personnel Administrators 2012 Conference! The conference will be held October 14-16 in San Antonio. Click http://tacuspa.camp8.org/registration for more details about registration and events.
And finally, let off some steam with our HEASPA crew at karaoke this Thursday! We’ll be at Rusty’s on 7th street starting at around 9:30 pm. Hope to see you there!
And we promise to do a better job of keeping this dang thing updated!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to support us at Austin’s Pizza last Saturday! Members of HEASPA both old and new were able to meet and mingle, all while helping us raise money for future professional development and other events! We’ll update you all with the final numbers from Austin’s Pizza next week 
And now, for the main event! UT Football starts this Saturday with a home game against Wyoming! Hook ‘em horns! We hope all of you were able to attend Gone to Texas, if only to learn some of the more popular cheers and fight songs. Before the game, we invite you to join us at a tailgate thrown by the LBJ School’s Great Tailgate Society. Entrance is $10 and they’ll have food and drinks (of all persuasions) for you to enjoy. The tailgate starts at 4:30pm, with food served at 5:15pm. Just FYI, we hear the food goes fast!
See you all on Saturday! TEXAS! FIGHT! \m/
