2014 Marantz Award
 

In 1984 the graduate students in our department, with the support of Dr. Kenneth Marantz, created this award as an opportunity to foster exchange between current students and an eminent alumna/us. The award honors the scholarship and impact of the recipient and provides students with an opportunity to benefit from the experience and insight of one of their own. In 1999 The Marantz Distinguished Alumni Lecture Fund was established with gifts from Harold and Kenneth Marantz, and in recognition of these gifts and the significant cadre of esteemed graduates who studied in the department during the chairmanship of Dr. Marantz, the lecture series was designated “The Kenneth A. Marantz Distinguished Alumni Award.” This year's recipient is Dr. Patricia Dewey, PhD 2004, director of the Arts and Administration Program at the University of Oregon​.
