We also welcome 27 concentrators in Architecture and the History of Art to join us as our newest alumni.
This year we are honored to award four students with the Ann Belsky Moranis Memorial Prize: Madison Hofert, Hannele Hellerstedt, Sophia Otero, and Jack Nelson.
This prize recognizes concentrators who have excelled in work undertaken in the concentration, shown intellectual generosity and curiosity, and taken advantage of the strengths of the department in imaginative ways. Traditionally, the award is given to students who have touched multiple members of the faculty in profound ways, as both deep and rigorous thinkers and as members of our community---students who consistently remind us of why we chose to be teachers.
Other award winners are:
Liana Chaplain - Best Honors Thesis
Louis Fisher - Best Honors Project
Mara Jovanovic - Outstanding Project
Theodore Golstein and Amy Lee - Outstanding Papers
