Ellen Rogers Steif Memorial Award
The Ellen Rogers Steif Memorial Award was established by the family and friends of Ellen Steif, who died in the fall of 1979, two years after her classmates had graduated from Carleton. This award honors Steif’s interest in history and her personal courage in the face of death during a long and painful illness. The prize is awarded each year by the Department of History to a history major who best reflects Steif’s personal qualities and academic achievements.
