Jane K. Fenyo Best Student Research Paper Award
The Jane K. Fenyo Best Student Research Paper Award is awarded to the best full paper submitted by student authors at the AMS Annual Conference. The student paper competition, which began in 1977, was renamed in memory of Dr. Jane K. Fenyo in 1982, who passed away in an automobile accident one year before. AMS Founder Dr. Harold Berkman met Dr. Fenyo, an English professor, while serving on a committee at Long Island University. Dr. Berkman recruited Dr. Fenyo to become the first editor of the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science (JAMS).
