Fred Homer Memorial Fund

 

     The Political Science Department encourages undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Wyoming from all disciplines to submit award proposals to the Fred Homer Memorial Fund.  Students will be expected to write a 15-page paper on a topic related to either political philosophy; examining the life well led; or an examination of government, society and citizenship.  Dr. Fred Homer

     An application can be obtained from the Political Science Department in Room 139 of the Arts and Science Building or call 766-6484.  The winner of the competition will receive a $1,000 award; will make a presentation to faculty and students; and will be honored at the annual Political Science Awards dinner in the late spring. 

     The Political Science Department urges students to apply as way of honoring our late colleague, Fred Homer, who took such an impassioned interest in mentoring students.
