Lufkin Prize

The Lufkin Prize is awarded annually to a faculty member who makes a significant contribution to character development within the Hotchkiss community and serves as a role model for students. Established in 2006 thanks to the vision and generosity of Dan Lufkin '49, P'80,'82,'88,'23, the Lufkin Prize recognizes excellence in teaching, advising, coaching, and overall service to the Hotchkiss community. It also considers the constant demonstration of ethical character and moral leadership, and a commitment to these values in day-to-day interaction with students. It is the School's highest honor for our outstanding educators.
