2009 Foundation Awards
Nominations for the 2009 Foundation Awards are now here:
In 2003, the Syracuse University Foundation Awards were established to recognize individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, whose personal or professional lives have positively affected the LGBT community in a significant way. Please help us identify individuals, LGBT and straight, who have made a contribution to the LGBT community at Syracuse University or in the greater Syracuse community. We look for those whose work, while fundamentally important, often goes unnoticed beyond their peers, family, and co-workers. The nominees may work professionally or informally towards a more positive environment for the LGBT community and all of us.
The categories available for nomination include
* undergraduate student
* graduate student
* faculty member
* staff member
* SU department/organization
* Community Member (Adult)
* Community Member (Youth)
The awards will be presented at the 7th Annual Rainbow Banquet on Thursday, April 23, 2009 in the Regency Ballroom of the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel. Please also encourage others to make nominations by distributing award information and posting the link to the online nomination form. The nomination deadline is April 6th, 2009.
