R.E. LEE WILSON AWARD
The Wilson Award is presented annually to the university's outstanding graduating senior. The recipient is selected on the basis of character, determination, involvement and academic achievement. This honor is bestowed in the memory of R.E. Lee Wilson, a member of the Arkansas State University Board of Trustees from 1917 until his death in 1933. Presentation of the award began in 1934. Until 1980 the award was presented to the outstanding male and female graduating senior. Beginning in 1981 it was determined this practice was no longer necessary, and the university began presenting the award to one student.
