Thank you for your interest in supporting the Sociology Department!

We would like to thank all of our donors and friends who have contributed to the Sociology Fund.  With these contributions we have been able to provide a number of awards and opportunities for our students, including the following awards:

  • William C. Jenné Award for Excellence. The Jenné Award is given each year in recognition of overall excellence in the sociological enterprise. We recognize this student for their outstanding intellectual ability to use a sociological perspective, as well as their application of that perspective within the community.
  • Charles E. Starnes Writing Award. This award goes to a sociology major the faculty deem to have written the best paper as part of a regularly scheduled class each year.
  • Alumni Awards for Excellence

In addition to these awards, we have drawn on alumni/friend contributions to sponsor events and guest speakers, and to support the travel of undergraduates to professional conferences.

You can make a donation to a specific award or to our general fund (Sociology Unrestricted).  If you have a specific idea for a new award, we would love to hear from you.  If you would like to make a gift, or would like assistance as you consider making a gift, please contact:
