Update - October 04,
2006: In
December of 2005, the Department of Anthropology at Emory University established
a permanent award in Trevor's name. Named the "Trevor E. Stokol
Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Research", it is being given to
the student with the best senior research project that includes a Senior
Honor Thesis. This award is in recognition of Trevor's contribution to
the department. The
first recipient received the award on May 2nd of 2006. "I
am pleased with this recognition of Trevor's impact on our lives. I am
sure that Trevor's memory will inspire others to emulate his accomplishment
in biological anthropological research. As I look at the plaque and the
student who just received the award, I smile inwardly at my memory of Trevor
and Abby at work in the lab and realize how special they were."
