Mu Alpha Theta established this Award in 1986 in honor of Harold Huneke,
a former Secretary/Treasurer of National Mu Alpha Theta. Each year the
Huneke Award honors a Sponsor who has made significant contributions to
Mu Alpha Theta. Beginning with the 2007-2008 school year, the award will present the winner
with a $2000 cash award and a grant of $1000 to the teacher's chapter.
If a current Sponsor has served as Sponsor for at least five years,
has attended at least two National Conventions (or will this year attend a second convention),
and is not currently a member of the Mu Alpha Theta
Governing Council,
then you can nominate your Sponsor by completing the
Nomination Form* and submitting
exactly three letters of recommendation (including your own). Recommendation letters
may come from the nominee's current or past students, co-workers, administrators or Mu Alpha Theta colleagues.
All nomination materials must be postmarked no later than June 15 and mailed to:
Mu Alpha Theta
Huneke Award
c/o University of Oklahoma
601 Elm Ave. Rm 1102
Norman, OK 73019-0315
The Governing Council will choose the winner of the Huneke
Award and the winner will be announced at the National Convention. Beginning in 2009, the sponsor no longer needs to be present
at the Convention to win. Also, any sponsor whose name is nominated, but does not win the award, will have their
application reconsidered for the following two years for the award.
Sponsors may be nominated for both the Sister Scholastica Award and Huneke Award in the same year, but no sponsor
may win either award more than once.
