Dr. Simon appreciated the gesture and he and his wife Christiana contributed to the fund. Mrs. Simon further enhanced the fund after Dr. Simon’s death in 2003. This faculty-nominated award recognizes an outstanding Literature major who shows a "commitment to reading and research. The scholarship is intended to help pay for books.
