Dean of Students >
Foy Spirit Award
- FOY SPIRIT AWARD 2008
- The Award
- The Foy Spirit Award is a $1000 scholarship given each year
in honor of former Dean of Students Dr. James E. Foy and his
late wife, Mrs. Emmalu Foy. The Foy family established the award
to recognize and reward a student who exhibits exceptional
qualities of leadership, character, and a commitment to the
Auburn community while maintaining a job to help fund education
expenses.
-
- About the Foys
- Dean Foy first made his mark on Auburn's campus over 50
years ago, yet his presence remains a mainstay to Auburn
students still today. His wife Emmalu was not only his partner
for 60 years, but was also involved with student leadership and
promoting the Auburn spirit. The Foys enjoyed working closely
with Auburn students, serving as advisors and mentors for nearly
three decades, until Dean Foy's retirement in 1978.
- A compassionate administrator who at one time worked several
jobs to pay his way through college, Dean Foy was a model for
undergraduate students faced with the challenges of balancing
academics, work and service to Auburn’s campus. Overcoming such
challenges while demonstrating excellence is to embody the “Foy
Spirit” and epitomize the Auburn Creed.
