Michael Lowenstein Memorial Award

This award, named for Michael Lowenstein ’60, is presented to the University of Rochester River Campus undergraduate who deepens student, faculty, and community awareness of existing social, racial, or political inequities. This undergraduate, through their work and actions, has endeavored to promote the ideals that Michael cherished. Michael sought to give a fresh view of things around us, to focus upon issues, to probe deeply using fact and objectivity, and to open a dialogue with the community to find some answers.
