Clyde E. Jacobs (January 19th, 1924—June 23rd, 2009) completed his undergraduate degree at KU, and his MA and PhD at the University of Michigan. In 1952 he joined the Department of Political Science at UC Davis, where he taught for many years, and was especially dedicated to undergraduate education. He provided funds to assist French majors studying in France. The Department of French, Francophone and Italian Studies will be awarding a French major studying in France for an academic year, a minimum of one non-renewable study abroad award of $10,000 in honor of Clyde E. Jacobs. We will also offer at least two $5,000 awards for students studying for the semester in his honor.
