Hare, a distinguished member of the English faculty of Youngstown State University. On her death, the award was renamed to honor both. The award provides $100 each year to each of three students who demonstrate distinction in one of the following categories of writing: poetry, fiction and drama, and literary criticism. The recipients are chosen by the Hare Awards Committee composed of members of the English faculty.
