Randy Martin Spirit Award

The Randy Martin Spirit Award annually recognizes individuals who embody the unique combination of qualities that made Dr. Randy Martin, Professor of Art and Policy in the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, such a beloved and valued member of IA and the many other communities of which he was a part, both inside and outside of higher education.

Julie Ellison Vision Award

The Julie Ellison Vision Award, honoring the visionary work of IA’s founding faculty director and Professor Emerita at University of Michigan, recognizes the leading-edge visions for justice, equity, and relentless support of the next generation of public scholars by current and former fellows in IA’s Publicly Active Graduate Education (PAGE) program. Under Julie’s leadership, the PAGE Fellows program launched in 2003 and expanded through the organized efforts of community-engaged graduate student fellows in the arts and humanities from IA member institutions.

This award honors a former PAGE fellow who demonstrates an ongoing commitment to publicly engaged graduate education in their current institution or organization, in a manner that reflects the values and vision of Dr. Julie Ellison.
