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 Ian’s unusual intensity, originality, and athletic ability. The Ian Kraabel Memorial Prize in History is awarded each year by the Department of History to the Senior History major who best reflects Ian’s personal qualities and his desire to pursue understanding and knowledge.
