    Students are nominated by faculty members for their outstanding contributions in the classroom, through student organization involvement, internship and professional experience as evidenced by a commitment to the underserved. The SOC honors committee evaluates these applicants based on how students experiences have worked towards social justice. We will soon announce the winners of the awards.

    The event will also feature a showcase of student work, including presentations relating to this year's social justice theme: Gender and Power. A light reception will follow.
