This award is given in celebration of the life of Martha Montgomery – an administrator, scholar, colleague and most important a mentor and supporter of all women on the Drexel campus. Dr. Martha Montgomery, who was a professor of philosophy, a department chair and senior administrator, stood for excellence in academic work, intellectual curiosity and integrity, professionalism, and commitment to values of diversity and empowerment of women. In naming this award after Martha Montgomery, we remember her with great pride and admiration.

And she would be very proud of our awardee, Ms. Lobna Abdelrahim, graduating senior in IAS.

Lobna is receiving this award for her work in the WMST special topics course, “Writing on the Body” taught by Dr. Anne-Marie Obajtek-Kirkwood. In addition to her active participation in class discussion, she wrote an outstanding paper on women’s bodies as projected by the media.
