The American Studies Association honored Professor Joy Kasson with the prestigious Mary C. Turpie Award at its annual meeting in Washington, D.C. The Mary C. Turpie Prize, established in 1993, is given to the candidate who has demonstrated outstanding abilities and achievement in American Studies teaching, advising, and program development at the local or regional level. Professor Kasson has achieved all of that and more in her decades of teaching, service, and scholarship. All of us at Carolina celebrate her award with pride.
