University President William P. Leahy, SJ, will announce the recipient of this year's award, named after BC's first Black Studies Program director. Houston Fellows use the $3,000 grant toward a research project that involves travel abroad or in the United States.
Last year's winner, Rhoda Nafziger, '01, will be at the event to discuss her efforts to create a community-based HIV/AIDS curriculum in Nigeria.
