DOROTHY AMANN AWARD

Each year there are students who provide significant assistance to staff members within the Division of Student Affairs. Sometimes these outstanding graduating students will go unrecognized outside of the office situation in which they function. The Division of Student Affairs has established the Dorothy Amann Award in order to honor these students. This ceremony is held each Fall & Spring and friends and family are always welcome.

About Dorothy Amann

Dorothy Amann
Dorothy Amann was secretary to President Robert S. Hyer from the time that Southern Methodist University received its charter in 1912 until President Hyer returned to teaching in 1920. Miss Amann then began a long career at SMU as the University Librarian. She was a loyal and dedicated member of the University community and was as instrumental to the success of this new institution as those whose names are prominent at SMU.

“Miss Amann was present for many of the important decisions related to the founding of this University. Much of SMU’s success is due to her efforts.” - Robert S. Hyer
