The Ball State University Department of Journalism presented associate professor Candace Perkins Bowen with the 2013 Indiana Scholastic Journalism award at its annual conference earlier this month. Bowen is also the director for the Center for Scholastic Journalism.
The award citation describes Perkins Bowen as “tireless” and “passionate” in her “dedication and commitment to teaching and improving scholastic journalism.” Perkins Bowen was nominated by several members of the Journalism Educators Association from Indiana. She attended the award program at Ball State to receive the award and made brief remarks.
