William C. Hine Distinguished Service Award
William C. Hine Distinguished Service Award
History
William C. Hine has been involved with ASL Honor Society since 1980 and was instrumental in establishing the ASLHS Chapters at the University of Evansville and Eastern Illinois University. He is a strong supporter of ASLHS.
In 1996, the National Home Office of ASLHS was moved to the EIU campus with staff devoted strictly to ASLHS business. Dr. Hine has brought his considerable expertise to the organization not only by serving as sponsor of the National Office, but also through his representation of ASLHS at various national conferences such as UPCEA, ACHE, and CAEL and more recently as the ASLHS Director of Marketing.
In 2002, Alpha Sigma Lambda executive officers and chapter representatives from member institutions established a distinguished service award, named it in Dr. Hine’s honor, and chose him as its first recipient to show their depth of appreciation for his continued service to the Society and to adult students nationwide. The William C. Hine Distinguished Service Award honors Chapter Councilors for their commitment to promoting lifelong learning, dedication to serving adult learners, and leadership to the Alpha Sigma Lambda National Honor Society.
