The Ian Kraabel Memorial Prize was established in 1987 by the classmates and friends of Ian Kraabel ’85, who died in an avalanche on Mount Baker in the summer of 1986. This award honors Kraabel’s unusual intensity, originality, and athletic ability. The prize is awarded each year by the Department of History to a history major who best reflects Kraabel’s personal qualities and his desire to pursue understanding and knowledge.
