- The Graduate School recently announced the winners of the
Marnie and Bill Argersinger Award and the Dorothy Haglund Prize
for outstanding doctoral dissertations. The awards will be presented
at the 2000 doctoral hooding ceremony May 20 at the Lied Center.
Argersinger Awards will be presented to Shawn Michael Stone,

Jeanette Le Roux, who received her doctorate in ecology and evolutionary
biology.
Haglund awards will be presented to Randall R. Griffey, who received
his doctorate in art history, and Pierre Olivier Soulliac, who

The Dorothy Haglund Prize for Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation
was established in 1979 through the generosity of former vice
chancellor and dean William J. Argersinger, his wife, Marnie,
and their friends in cooperation with the KU Endowment Association.
The prize was established to honor the late Dorothy Haglund,
who served the graduate students of the University of Kansas
from 1940 to her retirement in 1983. In 1992, an additional
dissertation prize, the Marnie and Bill Argersinger Award, was
established.
