Schottland
endows new business leadership award at Washington College
Stanley A. Schottland, retired CEO and chairman of American Packaging
Corp., has established the Schottland Business Leadership Award
at Washington College. The award is meant to encourage innovation
and excellence in the next generation of American business leaders.
Each year, the Schottland Award will be awarded to a graduating
senior who meets the academic, leadership, and moral criteria.
The award amount is $5,000 upon graduation and $10,000 toward
graduate school after the award winner completes two years of
employment at an American corporation. Second and third-place
winners will each receive $1,000 upon graduation. “It’s
terrific that now there’s a formal award to emphasize the
themes we stress throughout the business curriculum: the importance
of quality, innovation, and ethical leadership,” commented
Professor Michael Harvey. “The award’s design makes
it both a capstone to the undergraduate experience and a bridge
to a career and graduate studies.”
The first Schottland Business Leadership Awards will be granted
this spring. The deadline for applications is February 1, 2000.
