an award to recognize enterprising employees, who by action
or idea, contribute to The University of Alabama's mission
of teaching, research and service. The award is in honor of Dr. Vergil Parks McKinley, a long-time professor at the University of Alabama.
After
receiving degrees at Columbia, Dr. McKinley came to The University of Alabama
in 1918 and retired in 1945 as head of the Trade and Industrial Development Department in the College of Education. His impeccable character was his hallmark
and endeared him to his students and peers.
