Woman’s Press Club of Indiana has awarded its highest honor, the Kate Milner Rabb Award, to Gena Asher, adjunct lecturer and Web editor for the School of Journalism.

The award was presented May 19 at the organization’s annual awards luncheon in Centerville.

Asher's Rabb award particularly recognizes her efforts in updating and maintaining the Woman’s Press Club of Indiana Web site in the past year.

The Rabb Award has been given since 1962 for excellence in journalism and service to the profession and the organization. Previous recipients include Hortense Myers, an Indiana political reporter who spent her career at UPI; Mary Benedict, a long-time IU School of Journalism professor; and award-winning Indiana photographer Ruth Chin.
