The Class of 1950 Distinguished Faculty Research Award

The Class of 1950 Distinguished Faculty Research Award will be presented to a full-time Bridgewater State College faculty member or librarian in the Spring of 2010.  This award was created through an endowment established by the Class of 1950 on the occasion of their 50th reunion.  The awardee will receive a plaque and a check for $6,700.
