Martin Lubin Award

Martin Lubin Award

The Martin Lubin Undergraduate Award in the Social Sciences was created in honor of the late Martin Lubin, Professor at SUNY Plattsburgh, who passed away in September 2011. Originally from Montreal, he had played a key role in the Canadian Studies program at SUNY Plattsburgh for many years. His main research focus was on Quebec politics and society.

In 1999, he was awarded the Prix du Quebec from the Government of Quebec in recognition of his “outstanding contributions to Quebec Studies in the United States.”
