Moeur
Award
The Moeur Award was named for Dr. B. B. Moeur, who was a physician
and businessman in Tempe in the early 1900s. His business ventures
included being president of the Southside Electric Light and
Gas Co. and a partnership in the Tempe Hardware Co. on Mill Avenue.
Dr. Moeur was always involved in politics, including 8 years
on the Tempe School Board and served as a member of the Board
of Education of the Tempe Normal School (predecessor of Arizona
State University). As Governor of Arizona from 1933-1937, he
provided leadership in the Great Depression. You may have been
in the Moeur Building named for him on the campus directly next
door to the Student Services building.
Since 1901, the Alumni Assoc. has presented the Moeur Award to
those graduates with the highest academic standing who have completed
their course work toward their degree while attending ASU with
8 consecutive fall and spring semesters. Award recipients are honored
at each commencement ceremony, receiving an award certificate;
the recipients receive a plaque after degrees are formally conferred
in the alumni database.
