What is the Boe Award?

The Boe Paper Award honors the late Dr. Dennis Boe, former Director of Honors at East Central University and a prominent figure at NCHC and GPHC meetings. For many, Dr. Boe exemplified the qualities of a dedicated honors leader, blending scholarship, creativity, and leadership. His untimely passing in 2005 inspired the creation of the Boe Award, which has recognized excellence in student research since 2008. Dr. Boe was not only a respected scholar but also a talented musician, poet, and administrator. He performed in numerous concerts, was named Teacher of the Year at Eastern Oklahoma State and was a regional leader in the arts in Oklahoma.
