Dr. Lillian Lerman, Professor Emerita and former Undergraduate Program Director of the Division of Social Science in the Faculty of Arts (now Liberal Arts & Professional Studies), passed away on January 26, 2024.

Lillian was a longtime and beloved member of the Division of Social Science, both as a lecturer and academic leader who could bring people together in one of the most diverse units of the university. She was a mentor and friend to students, professors and staff.

After her retirement in 1991, the Lillian Lerman Book Prize for the Division (now Department) of Social Science students was created in her honour, as a recognition of her dedication and contribution to undergraduate teaching.

She will be deeply missed by a host of family, friends and colleagues.
