APPALACHIAN INSTITUTE AWARD indicates research and scholarship activities directly addressing Appalachian issues. The awards went to Madeline Davin (oral presentation) and Lucy Hritzo (poster presentation).

ANGELA’S AWARD is given and named in loving memory of Angela Phillips, who lost her battle with drug addiction on Dec. 7, 2016. This award honors research and scholarship activities that explore, engage with, and encourage further research on social stigmas, stereotypes, or marginalized populations in order to promote a deeper understanding of—rather than simply reinforce—such stigmas. The award went to Madeline Davin.
