The Wolfskill Award was established in 1991 to recognize graduate student academic excellence and at the same time honor the career of the late Professor George Wolfskill. Dr. Wolfskill was a prolific scholar and popular teacher who served UTA in many capacities from 1955 until his death in 1987. For many years he was invaluable as the department's graduate advisor. The Wolfskill Award is presented annually at the Walter Prescott Webb Lectures to the graduate student whose grades and written work symbolize the excellence that Dr. Wolfskill encouraged in all his graduate students.
All contributions go entirely to the funding of the award.
