The Wentz Award

The Wentz Award, established by the Corriher-Linn-Black Library of Catawba College, in honor of Frances Decker Wentz is presented annually to a Junior or Senior student, having served at least two years as a student assistant in the Library, who has demonstrated, through distinguished performance of duties, a real concern and aptitude for the theory and practice of library science and service.

The Wentz Award is given at the Annual Awards Assembly. An individual plaque is presented to the student winner. In addition, the name of the winner and the year of the presentation are engraved on a permanent plaque displayed in the Corriher-Linn-Black Library.
