RAYMOND L. MUNCY SCHOLARSHIP
The Raymond L. Muncy Scholarship is a one-time financial award for those undergraduate students at Harding University majoring in history who demonstrate exceptional scholarship, research, and Christian character. The scholarship was created to honor the late Raymond L. Muncy, Chairman of the Department of History and Social Sciences from 1965-1993. His teaching, mentoring, and scholarship modeled the best in Christian education. Applied toward tuition, the award is granted over the span of a single academic year. The award is presented annually at the Department of History and Social Sciences Banquet.
This issue of Tenor of Our Times is proud to include the work of the recipients of the 2012 Raymond L. Muncy Scholarship, which includes both a primary and a secondary award. Alyssa Kirkman was awarded $1,200 for her essay, “The Meeting of Mothers, Midwives, and Men.” Catherine Hines was awarded $600 for her essay, “Reaping the Turmoil Within: How Ireland’s Kings Triggered the Anglo-Norman Rebellion.”
