As an honor to a loving wife and mother and to recognize a pioneer in chemical engineering at the University of Oklahoma, the family of Freda Meyer Guild has established the Freda Meyer Guild Award for the outstanding junior female student in the School of Chemical, Biological and Materials Engineering. Freda entered the University of Oklahoma in the fall of 1938 and earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering in 1943. In doing so, she was the first female to graduate from the chemical engineering program at the University of Oklahoma.
