Dr. Shane Hunt of Arkansas State University is the 2010 recipient of the Inspire Integrity Award, awarded to full-time university staff who have made an impact on their students and community through integrity.
The Inspire Integrity Award is the nation's only student-nominated faculty award that recognizes professors for their commitment to inspiring and instilling integrity in their students and is given by The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS).
NSCS has awarded Faculty of the Year Awards since 2005. However, in 2007, NSCS refocused the awards on integrity, and inaugurated the Inspire Integrity Awards.
As the recipient of the Inspire Integrity award, marketing professor Dr. Hunt will receive a $3,000 personal stipend and a $2,000 contribution to the ASU general scholarship fund.
Dr. Hunt came to ASU in August 2007 after completing his Ph.D. in marketing in May 2007 at Oklahoma State University. He has four years of professional experience in the telecom industry as a product, price and business development manager.
"We're proud to honor Dr. Hunt," said Stephen E. Loflin, Executive Director and Founder of NSCS. "He has shown extraordinary commitment to his students and the Arkansas State community. Teachers like Dr. Hunt serve as a model for all, and we’re so pleased to have the opportunity to shine a spotlight on his outstanding accomplishments and commitment to integrity.”
Dr. Shane Hunt is the third recipient of the Inspire Integrity Award. Dr. John Pease of the University of Maryland was the 2009 recipient and Dr. Linda Bolton of the University of Iowa was the 2008 recipient.
