AWARD DESCRIPTIONS
The President James Manning Medal
The President James Manning Medal is awarded to a member of the Class of 2009 whose pursuit of excellence in the
study and practice of religion is exemplary. This award is given in honor of Brown's first president who exemplified the
synthesis of intellectual precision and spiritual engagement. The academic study of religion enables students to become
critical thinkers and move beyond personal piety into responsible leadership achieving a balance between the particularity
of respective faith traditions and a sense of community and global responsibility.
The Interfaith Leadership Award
A generous award to the Brown University Chaplaincy from the Kapstein Foundation, administered through the Jewish
Federation of Rhode Island, makes possible the honoring of a member of the Class of 2009 who has demonstrated
interfaith leadership both on campus and beyond, within the confines of the academic year and/or during time away. This
award will acknowledge the energy, insight imagination and service of a student in the realm of inter-religious community
building and programming. The Interfaith Leadership Award honors the late Reverend Charles A. Baldwin, Chaplain of
the University, 1958–1988.
The Levi Adams Citation
Inaugurated in 2001, the Levi Adams Citation honors a senior in the college for distinction and service in the leadership of
a campus based religious organization, project, or initiative. This award is given in honor of Dr. Levi Adams, whose
retirement from Brown in 1994 concluded a distinguished career during which he served on Brown's faculty, as one of the
Deans of the Medical School and Vice President of Government and Community Relations. His resilience, imagination
and strength in his varied tasks were always ground in deep spiritual convictions. Empowered by Dr. Adam’s example
this citation is made to honor such service.
