Buddy Burniske Award & Endowment
In honor of Buddy Burniske, the College of Education at the University of Hawaii at Manoa has established the Buddy Burniske Memorial Fund.
Burniske Outstanding LTEC Master’s Project Award
Each year, an LTEC graduate student is awarded a monetary gift in honor of Buddy. A plaque representing the Burniske Outstanding LTEC Master’s Project Award with the name of the student recipient and the year is displayed in the College of Education.
The Burniske Outstanding LTEC Master’s Project Award is given to an LTEC student whose master’s project and other graduate work in the department best exemplify what Buddy valued in his students’ work: innovation, high-quality research and writing, and significance to the field.
Nominees for the award are reviewed by a faculty selection committee and a recipient is recommended to the department for approval. A plaque representing this annual award with the name of the student recipient and the year is displayed in the College of Education.
The Burniske Family
The Burniske family, including Buddy’s parents, son and niece oversee the Burniske Memorial Fund.
Clarence the Turtle
Also, this delightful e-book for children, Clarence the Turtle, written by Buddy. It teaches about bullying and is selling for $1.99 with all of the profits going to the memorial fund.
