Pearl A. Neas Service Award
The Pearl A. Neas Service Award is given to a member of Southwestern's staff. It was established for the purpose of recognizing long and faithful service to the University and paying tribute to those who render such service. The Award is named for the late Miss Pearl A. Neas who served Southwestern for 40 years, 38 of them as registrar. Her life and character symbolized dedication of self and service to the furtherance of the University.
