The award was established in 2019 to honor Professor Hyme Loss, who joined the Carleton faculty in 1926 and brought experience and expertise to the foreign languages at Carleton. His studies included time in France — this in an era when languages were typically taught for reading knowledge by professors with little experience abroad — and he was fluent in French, Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, Yiddish, Latin, and Greek. The Hyme Loss Award for Global Engagement is given to seniors who demonstrate excellence beyond the existing Global Citizenship graduation requirement. It encourages students to go deeper in their foreign language acquisition, cultural immersion, global perspective-taking, and cross-cultural learning.
