Hoggson Award

Each year, the Sociology faculty review senior sociology majors as possible recipients of the Father Robert Hoggson, S.J. Award for Excellence in Sociology. The award is named in memory of Father Hoggson, who played an important role founding the Department of Sociology at Georgetown. The award is presented at the Tropaia Ceremony during graduation weekend in recognition to one student who has achieved academic excellence and enhanced the well-being of groups/members in society. Recipients must have a GPA of 3.5 or higher in all Sociology courses, and a GPA of 3.0 or higher in all courses taken at Georgetown, calculated through Fall semester of senior year.
