"Friends of William C. Hine Endowed Scholarship" Campaign

Dean Hine

Dr. Hine currently serves as Dean of the School of Continuing Education at Eastern Illinois University, having been at EIU since 1986. Throughout his career, he has provided leadership in several professional associations, including vice-president of AAACE, Board of Directors of ACHE, National Advisory Board of CAEL, and has served as president of the Illinois Council for Continuing Higher Education.

A strong supporter of ASL since 1980, Dean Hine was instrumental in establishing chapters at the University of Evansville and Eastern Illinois University. In 1996, he arranged for the National Home Office of ASL to be located at the EIU campus with staff devoted strictly to ASL. Dean Hine has brought his considerable expertise to the organization as sponsor of the National Office and as representative of ASL at various national meetings of UCEA, ACHE, and CAEL and more recently as the ASL Director of Marketing.

In 2002, Alpha Sigma Lambda executive officers and chapter representatives from member institutions established a distinguished service award, named it in Dr. Hine's honor, and chose him as it's first recipient to show their appreciation for his continued service to the Society and to adult students nationwide. The William C. Hine Distinguished Service Award honors Chapter Councilors for their commitment to promoting lifelong learning, dedication to serving adult learners, and leadership to the Alpha Sigma Lambda National Honor Society.

Having raised $9,000 to date, we continue toward our goal of raising at least $12,000 for the endowment in order to disburse annually the William C. Hine Scholarship. Please join ASL in recognizing Dr. Hine for his dedication to adult students and to continuing higher education through your S contributions to this scholarship.
