The Norval Glenn Prize

Remembering Norval Glenn

Norval D. Glenn, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, who taught for 47 years at The University of Texas at Austin, died February 15, 2011, after a two-year battle with myelodysplastic syndrome, a form of blood cancer. He was 77 years old. He was a valued friend and colleague.

In recognition of this wonderful scholar and to honor his many contributions to the field of family sociology, the Department of Sociology is pleased to announce an effort to raise funds for The Norval Glenn Prize. Funds will be used to award a financial prize to The University of Texas at Austin graduate student with the best paper in the area of family sociology. Awards will be made annually while funds are available. We hope you will consider joining us by making a contribution to this fund.
