The award is given annually to recognize individuals for outstanding service, innovation, or publication in environmental sociology. It is intended to be an expression of appreciation, awarded when an individual is deemed extraordinarily meritorious by the Section.

One of Lewis’ former Urban Sustainability students, Isabella Clark ’17, a Ph.D. student in environmental sociology at the University of Oregon, was a co-presenter of the award.
