Robert Parks for four years before joining a Des Moines law firm. Henry was 35 when he died in a traffic accident in 1983.

Carnot H. Thomas and Lillian M. Thomas Award
This scholarship recognizes an undergraduate student with financial need who shows academic achievement and professional potential.

Sandra and Lynn Davis Award
This award, established in 1996, honors Sandra and Lynn Davis who were involved in developing the concept of leadership awards. The Davises were very active in leadership activities during their student days in the mid-1960s, and Sandra Davis was chosen as chair of the Student Affairs Development Council in its first meeting in November 1993. This award recognizes a senior who has been a leader in any capacity on campus.
