Yale Bassett Award for Community Engagement
Script error: No such module "AfC topic".
Each year, the Yale Center for the Study of Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration (Yale RITM) awards the Yale Bassett Award for Community Engagement to high school juniors in the United States. The award was inaugurated in 2017 by the faculty of Yale's RITM with the goal of honoring "emerging leaders who have distinguished themselves through a record of creative leadership and public service, academic distinction, interdisciplinary problem solving, and experience addressing societal issues."[1] The Yale Bassett Award was named after educator, abolitionist, and public servant Ebenezer Bassett, who studied mathematics and classics at Yale in the 1850s. [2]
The winners of the Yale Bassett Award for Community Engagement receive a book selected by the faculty of Yale RITM and a certificate of recognition.[3] The selection committee is comprised of Yale faculty members, staff and students.[4] The number of recipients of the award have ranged from 15 to 35, depending on the year. A number of semi-finalists of the Yale Bassett Award are also named by the selection committee. [5]
