Achievement Award - School’s highest award for academic
excellence.
"From time to time
the faculty awards a plaque for excellence to the graduate or graduates, who,
in their estimation, have done especially outstanding work in the course of
their study at Brooks Institute. This award is not based solely upon grade
averages, but rather takes into account the creativity of the person's
thinking, his quality of work produced, his ability to work with other people,
as well as the technical proficiency which he has developed. With the high
standards, which are expected of a plaque winner, it is understandable that
the award is not necessarily made at every graduation. This is not an
automatic award to 'the best in class' but rather is a recognition of
achievement in accordance with the ideal of the 'best in photography.'"
