Information for the V.P. Franklin Award (Africana Studies)
The V.P. Franklin Award, named after one of the founders of the Africana Studies program, recognizes an outstanding essay that highlights critical issues within Africana Studies. This competition is open to students who enrolled in AFAS and AFAS cross-listed courses as well as courses taught throughout the College of Arts & Sciences.

Information for the Martha Montgomery Award (Women’s and Gender Studies)
This award is given in celebration of Martha Montgomery – an administrator, scholar, colleague and most important a mentor and supporter of all women on the Drexel campus. Dr. Martha Montgomery, who was a professor of philosophy, a department chair and senior administrator, stood for excellence in academic work, intellectual curiosity and integrity, professionalism, and commitment to values of diversity and empowerment of women. In naming this award after Martha Montgomery, we remember her with great pride and admiration.

This competition is open to students who enrolled in WGST and WGST cross-listed courses as well as courses taught throughout the College of Arts & Sciences. Winning the Martha Montgomery Award is a wonderful way to gain recognition and visibility from the larger Drexel University community for high quality, undergraduate scholarship in Women’s and Gender Studies.
