London was given the Meeting of the Minds Award for Artistic Excellence for her work entitled “Dancing at the Edge: Writing About Performance.”  Stephenson was awarded the Meeting of the Minds Dietrich Humanities Prize for “Searching for Me: Discovering the Self through an Exploration of Religion and Race.”
