The Dr. Alice Sterling Honig Endowed Scholarship Fund to benefit students majoring in child and family studies at Syracuse University has been created through a generous gift by her long-time colleague and retired Syracuse University faculty member, Dr. Bettye Caldwell.
Honig and Caldwell met at Syracuse University in 1963 when Caldwell hired Honig as a research assistant for a grant on infant learning. Caldwell’s work in Syracuse in early childhood development programming serving low-income children and their families was the foundation for what became Head Start. OCL honored Peggy Liuzzi in April with the Dr. Bettye Caldwell Advocacy Award for her work in the early childhood field.
“I know of no one more deserving than Dr. Alice Honig to have an endowed scholarship named for her, and I am very happy to see that this is happening,” said Caldwell. Honig has done extensive research on infants and toddlers, language development, child-care practices, and preschooler social development, and delivers presentations and training sessions around the world to promote high quality childcare.
