Vernie Newman Award
Every year, the Department of History honors a graduating senior history major with the Vernie Newman award, named for a long-time history faculty member. While carrying no monetary stipend, the award highlights an outstanding student for his or her accomplishments in the history program at McMurry. Awardees have gone on to successful careers in many different disciplines.
