Beginning in the 2013-2014 academic year, the history department has named one exceptional undergraduate history major or minor the recipient of the Student of the Year award.

Since the 2015-2016 academic year, the Student of the Year winner has also received the Dr. Paul E. Isaac History Award, a cash prize made possible through the generosity of Mrs. Nancy C. Isaac. Her husband, Dr. Isaac, spent most of his career as a history professor at LU.
