This award honors a sociology major with a distinguished academic record, particularly in their sociology course work, and with a record of active involvement in extra-curricular activities, student organizations, and professional associations, with special attention paid to those who serve in leadership positions in these organizations. The winner is recognized with a medal of honor.
