Jacob Green Memorial Prize

In honor of Jacob Green (1998-2019) the Race and Ethnic Studies program in the College of Arts and Sciences introduces the Jacob Green Memorial Prize for Building Racial Justice and Inclusive Communities.

The Jacob Green Memorial Prize will recognize up to two CAS undergraduate students every year who promote the values that Jacob embodied—a commitment to racial justice, equality, and leadership in order to build a loving, inclusive community at the University of Redlands. Students from all years are eligible to be nominated. These prizes will pass the torch of racial justice leadership from one generation of students to the next.
