The Department of Sociology is proud to offer two undergraduate awards for spring 2025: The W. E. B. Du Bois Scholarship Award and the Ida B. Wells Service Award. These awards highlight undergraduate students who are working to promote inclusion on campus or in the community. We seek students who are dedicated to creating inclusive spaces welcoming to all people. This can take many forms, including: Original scholarship advancing the interests of underrepresented or underserved students and communities Planning and coordinating volunteer efforts in the local Athens community or students’ home communities Creating and promoting original content (e.g., podcasts, videos, flyers) that highlights contributions to inclusive excellence The W. E. B. Du Bois Scholarship Award promotes inclusion through academic contributions (e.g., a term paper, academic presentation, research proposal), while the Ida B. Wells Service Award promotes inclusion through community outreach and service. Do you or someone you know fit this description? Please apply or nominate someone below! We encourage self-nominations.
