This endowed fund makes an annual award to the undergraduate geography major with the highest grade point average and who has completed 80 credit hours at ASU. The fund was established to honor Dr. Ray Henkel’s many years of service to undergraduate education in the Department of Geography (precursor to the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning). Henkel taught at Arizona State University from 1966 until his retirement in 1995.
