The Dugan Foley Award

Posted: May 26th, 2011 by hneroni

The 2011 Dugan A. Foley Memorial Award

The Dugan A. Foley Memorial Award is given each year to an outstanding junior in Film and Television Studies.  The award is in memory of a dearly loved UVM student who minored in the program and died suddenly in her junior year in the summer of 1995.  Dugan was genuine, passionate and radiant.  Fortunately for us, Dugan’s mother Dixie Foley O’Connor, set up this memorial in collaboration with Dugan’s Professor at that time Frank Manchel so that other film students might benefit from Dugan’s spirit.

Teaching holds some extraordinary rewards and one of the most treasured is the chance to meet young people like this years recipient of the Dugan A. Foley Memorial Award.  The award is determined by a committee who chooses the student who is at once the outstanding junior major, and the junior who best approximates the fighting spirit of Dugan Foley. This year the Award goes to Julia Liebster.  Congratulation to Julia!

Julia Liebster and Prof. Hilary Neroni, Spring 2011
