New Prout Family Creative Awards Bestowed at Celebration of Excellence
Muskingum University bestowed the inaugural Prout Family Creative Awards at the annual Celebration of Excellence ceremony, which recognizes students for academic achievements and student life contributions.
Created by Dr. Robert ’66 and Susan Prout, the two Prout Family Creative Awards honor academic and creative achievement by students in the literary and visual arts.
