Today SOAN presented our annual awards to our graduating seniors at Colgate’s Awards Convocation ceremony. It was my honor to present the Award for Excellence in Sociology and Anthropology, which recognizes our graduating senior with the highest GPA in SOAN courses, to Erik Jurado. Our Ramshaw Service Award, named after SOAN faculty colleague emeritus Warren Ramshaw, and given to the senior who demonstrates outstanding community service and academic achievement, was awarded to Cindy Gaete. Congratulations to Erik and Cindy for earning SOAN’s top awards!
