Johnston-Hastings Endowment for Publication Support

Emeritus Professor Norman J. Johnston and his wife, L. Jane Hastings, established an endowed publications support fund to provide money for publication activities of faculty and students in the College.  Support is for work that has been accepted for publication rather than the writing thereof.  Such support is needed for publication; especially where a University Press is involved. This year is a poignant one as Jane Hastings passed away on March 25th. Her spirit and legacy live on in our college and our faculty and students today.   

This year $3,000 in supplements will be available from July 2024 to June 2025.

Eligibility

  • The award prioritizes the publication of research results rather than the writing of such.
