The Honors Committee worked diligently this year as we received outstanding nominations. We ask that you continue thinking of colleagues who are worthy of recognition by the Southern Sociological Society to send them in as soon as you get the notice in the fall so that all deserving members are considered in the process. Not sure of membership status? Contact the SSS to make sure that your nominees and supporters are eligible as they are nominated.
Sincerely,
Verna M. Keith
Chair, SSS Committee on Honors
