Norman F. Kallaus Business Communication Scholarship
The Frank Center oversees the Norman F. Kallaus Business Communication Scholarship, which recognizes undergraduates with exceptional communication skills. This award, established in 2020, is named in honor of Dr. Kallaus, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Management and Entrepreneurship, who was an advocate for strong communication skills in Tippie students. Each semester, BCaP instructors nominate one or two students to submit a video that demonstrates their presentation abilities. Submissions are judged by Frank Center faculty and staff, and the winner receives a $3,000 scholarship.
Mary Thomas Prappas Business Ethics Essay Competition
The Frank Center also administers the Mary Thomas Prappas Business Ethics Essay Competition. We choose the strongest ethics papers written by students enrolled in the honors section of MGMT:2000 Introduction to Law and work with them to revise their essays. Members of the Iowa City business community judge first, second, and third place winners. Winners receive $1000, $750, and $500, respectively.
