Graduate students earn CSU scholarships | ||||
July 10, 2003
Conor Casey won the CSU Glen and Dorothy Dumke Scholarship. The annual $1,000 award provides support for one graduate student studying public policy, American history, economics, archival management or government to conduct research in archives and special collections at CSU campuses. Casey will research population shifts in the 1920s and 1930s in San Francisco's Butchertown, once the home of slaughterhouses and now known as Bayview-Hunters Point. He works part time in SFSU’s Labor Archives and Research Center and holds bachelor's degrees from SFSU in history and anthropology. After the 25-year-old Pacifica resident completes his master's degree in history next May, he plans to conduct oral histories of the California labor movement through the Regional Oral History Office at UC Berkeley. A lover of the outdoors, Casey also hopes to someday become a ranger at a national park.
The CSU Board of Trustees' Outstanding Achievement Award was created in 1974 and later combined with the Hearst Scholarship Program in 1999. The $3,000 award is funded by an endowment from the Hearst Foundation and individual contributions from members of the CSU Board of Trustees.
