The Humanities Prize recognizes a graduating humanities major for the writing of an exceptional senior research paper, typically a capstone project or senior thesis. The annual prize is awarded at the end of each Spring semester. Recipient(s) receive a $500 cash stipend and participate in recognition ceremonies at both the Baker-Nord Center graduation celebration and the commencement awards assembly.
