The Francine Merritt Award

The Francine Merritt Award honors the memory of

Francine Merritt, who taught at Louisiana State University

between 1947 and 1984 in what was then the Department

of Speech. Professor Merritt’s long and distinguished career

included her tireless advocacy on behalf of the status of women.

 

The Francine Merritt Award began as a bequest from

Professor Merritt, to which her former students and

colleagues lovingly contributed in order to endow it.

 

Presented annually by the NCA women’s Caucus, the

Francine Merritt Award recognizes women who have made

“outstanding contributions to the lives of women in

communication.” Recipients exhibit the kind of selfless

work and service that characterized Merritt’s life and

inspired her many admirers among NCA women.
