Steven F. Cohn Honors Thesis Fellowship
Award amount: Up to $500
The Steven F. Cohn Thesis Fellowship Fund was established at the University of Maine with gifts from faculty, friends, and alumni in memory of Steve Cohn, UMaine Sociology and Honors Professor, as a tribute to his life and legacy on the Department of Sociology and Honors College. Professor Cohn came to UMaine in 1971, retiring in 2014. In a world where too many people look for the worst in each other, he looked for the best in everyone, and for more than forty years he was the most congenial and beloved colleague and teacher that any department could have ever hoped for.
