Rev Francis Luttmer

All Honors Day, Sociology

Presented each year to a graduating senior in the Sociology BA program in memory of Francis Luther, this award honors the student whose collaborative spirit, research initiative, and community-building efforts have most profoundly enriched the life of the department.

The recipient plays a pivotal role in joint research projects, contributing ideas, data collection, and analysis that advanced collective inquiry and fosters an inclusive and supportive environment by organizing seminars, peer-mentoring sessions, and social events that strengthened departmental bonds. Throughout these efforts, the awardee embodies sociological values of cooperation, critical engagement, and social responsibility.

By elevating both scholarship and community, the awardee sets a standard for collaborative excellence and exemplifies the transformative potential of sociology in action.
