Jefferson Award nominations sought

Nominations are invited for the Thomas Jefferson Award, the highest honor given to a member of the University community. The award will be made Oct. 13 at Fall Convocation to a member of the faculty, administration or staff who has exemplified in character, work and influence the principles and ideals of Jefferson, and thus advanced the objectives for which he founded the University.

The award consists of a citation and cash prize, from the income of an endowment established in 1955 by the Robert Earll McConnell Foundation.

Nominations and supporting materials (including resumes and letters) should be submitted to Jim Childress, Department of Religious Studies, Cocke Hall 101, P.O. Box 400126, by Sept. 15.
