Clio Hall originally housed the “Cliosophic Society," the oldest college debating club in the US, and that led to the adoption of the name “Clio Hall." The award itself is a miniature replica of Clio Hall, a Greek-revival style building. The Clio Hall Award--a 3D printed replica of Clio Hall, home of the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School--has been produced with the generous support of the Council on Science and Technology. Awardees also receive a personalized gift courtesy of Princeton University Press. This event is hosted by the Princeton University Graduate School as part of the 2025 <a href="https://gradfutures.princeton.edu/Forum" title="https://gradfutures.princeton.edu/Forum" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">GradFUTURES Forum</a>, a weeklong professional development conference for graduate students offering opportunities for meaningful professional growth and exploration of futures within and beyond the academy.
