Maryann Hartman Awards
Named
for the late Professor Maryann Hartman, outstanding teacher
and scholar in Speech Communication at the University of Maine,
these awards honor the spirit, achievement, and zest for life
that Hartman epitomized. They recognize distinguished Maine
women and their accomplishments in the arts, politics, business,
education and community service. The work of the women selected
provides inspiration to others and demonstrates the levels
of attainment now possible for women. Presented annually, the
awards increase campus and community awareness of contemporary
women's accomplishments.
Dr. Maryann Hartman
After
receiving a Ph.D. from Bowling Green State University in 1969,
Maryann Hartman joined the University of Maine faculty as an
assistant professor and director of forensics. A pioneer in
the field of oral interpretation, Hartman studied communicative
arts from historical, rhetorical, and aesthetic perspectives.
Her research includes comparisons of language patterns of Maine
women and men born before 1900; oral autobiographies of Maine
women born before 1900; and the use of oral interpretation
to influence public policy. Teacher, scholar, advocate, friend,
mother, a woman of courage and vitality, Maryann Hartman died
of cancer in 1980 at the age of 53.
