The CMS program awards several honors each year to our students, in memory of former students, faculty, and families of students.
Each year the 沟通 and 媒体研究 program honors graduating seniors and rising sophomores and juniors during the annual Spring convocation ceremony. 这些 awards are generously funded by David and Irene Pankey in memory of their beloved daughter 艾琳Felarca, class of 2005. During her four years at 云顶集团, Erin was honored 多次获奖. In 2001, she received the Marvin Perry Award. 艾琳毕业 获得系里和学院的荣誉. She received the department's award for academic excellence in 2005 and she was also a Phi Beta Kappa inductee. 她的毕业论文, "White or Something Like It: The Self-Proclaimed All-American Hapa Haole as the Cure for Racism," adroitly examines the post 1960's mixed race movement, specifically the rhetoric surrounding the half-white, half-Asian demographic. 艾琳敏锐的分析 of contemporary multiracialism posits a new racism based on the continued normative model of whiteness that guides our racialized discourse on miscegenation and the rhetorical posturing on multiculturalism not replicated in lived experience.
Erin was passionate about travel abroad and multicultural experience. 她很忠诚 to investigating and understanding issues of diversity and social justice. 她是 a talented musician, a gifted athlete, and a good friend who cared deeply about people in general and, especially, those in need. 她为 Quindecim and produced radio programming for the campus station. 她的文章《女性健身者: 终极女权主义者?" was published in the first edition of 云顶集团's student journal 边缘.
Erin's love of learning, her high academic achievements, her ability to synthesize and organize complex ideas, and her grace and dignity will long be cherished by the 系里的教员. We are honored to remember Erin each year as we choose students for the following awards:
