The Edgar Beckham Social Justice Awards: Our Mission
The annual Edgar Beckham Social Justice Awards ceremony seeks to honor the late Dean Edgar Beckham, whose dedication to social justice continues to positively impact the Wesleyan community. We aim to celebrate the students, faculty, staff, and members of the Middletown community whose efforts align with the ideals that guided his work. Our hope is that the recognition of these individuals will inspire other members of the community to commit to social justice work of their own.
To ensure that the ceremony is as successful as possible, the current members of the
Edgar Beckham Planning Committee need full community participation. Here is how you can take
part: Join the Edgar Beckham Social Justice Awards Planning Committee!
