This award is named for Frederick A. Cervantes, one of the first Chicano
political scientists and a pioneer in the development of Chicano Studies.
The award honors him for his scholarly work and for his commitment to
students and student research.  Cervantes was a member of NACS [sic] in
early years of the association. Cervantes received his Ph.D. from the
University of Washington in 1976. His dissertation was entitled "An
interpretation of J.V. Stalin's political thought." Originally from Texas,
Cervantes returned to Corpus Christie where he held a faculty position at
the University. On March 22, 1986, he was killed by a drunk driver in a
motorcycle accident.
