The Margaret Avery Award was established by Margaret's colleagues at the time of her retirement from active teaching in History in acknowledgement of her contributions as a teacher, colleague, mentor and friend. The Award is given on the basis of academic merit and is intended to provide financial assistance to a mature woman who is majoring in History and who is either completing a first degree or undertaking advanced study in History. Donations received at the time of the Margaret Avery Memorial Lecture provide the cash value of the Award each year.
