Senior Lewis Zhu has been awarded the Winfred Quinton Holton Prize for 2025. Zhu is majoring in Economics and Mathematics and minoring in Music.
His paper “The Changing Impact of School Suspensions on Student Outcomes: Evidence from North Carolina Public Schools,” earned him the top honors in the highest award category.
The Holton Prize was created in 1919 through an endowed gift from Holland and Lela Young Holton, in memory of their son. It recognizes investigative research, curriculum development work and innovative projects in Education-related fields, and is awarded by the Duke Program in Education.
Zhu will be formally recognized for his work at the Program in Education graduation ceremony on Friday, May 9.
