Director of the Sophia Center James Conlon received the Thomas Berry Great Work Award on July 18, 2016 at the Valley Center for the Performing Arts at Holy Names University. Mary Evelyn Tucker, senior lecturer and senior research scholar at Yale University and trustee of the Thomas Berry Foundation, bestowed the award to Conlon.
The Thomas Berry Great Work Award recognizes individuals in higher education whose work exemplifies Berry’s admonition that colleges and universities should “reorient the human community toward a greater awareness that the human exists, survives, and becomes whole only within the single great community of the planet Earth.”
