The Stories of the Amazing People Behind OWLS Scholarships:
Jane Cappe Research Enhancement Award
The Jane Cappe Research Enhancement Award was named in honor of a Texas State University graduate student in the Department of OWLS. As a nontraditional student, Ms. Cappe completed her MSIS degree while holding both part- and full-time jobs. During her program and interdisciplinary research study, she became convinced of a direct relationship between the effort expended in research and the amount of personal growth and critical skills that resulted. To promote these skills, the award focuses more on the quality of effort in research. The award was named after Ms. Cappe because of her personal integrity, scholarship, critical thinking, and pursuit of excellence in the academic and non-academic environment.
