Consultant Awards

Each year we honor exceptional student consultants.

Lexicon Award

This honor is a memorial tribute to Larry Witkos. Larry was a member of the first team of consultants and holder of the highest GPA in his class when diagnosed with leukemia in the spring of his junior year. Larry died just two weeks prior to what would have been his graduation, on April 29, 1998. The Lexicon Award was proposed by Larry’s roommates who declared that the recipient demonstrate an exceptional appreciation for articulate public expression and devotion to our mission: to pursue speaking and listening to good effect. A copy of the dictionary Larry Witkos compiled, The Lexicon, is presented to the recipient.

Cato’s Monument Award

This award recognizes unsung heroes. Named for Cicero’s friend and colleague who claimed “I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one,” this award recognizes a consultant who always goes beyond what is expected, who never fails to respond to the unanticipated need. The recipient deserves recognition but never expects it.
