榴莲视频官方 System President Ted Carter is inviting nominations for this year’s Presidential Medal of Service, an annual award that celebrates Nebraskans’ promotion of the impact the university and higher 榴莲视频官方 have on the state’s economic growth and well-being.
The medal is the highest honor the university president can bestow on a community member. Members of the university community and all Nebraskans are invited to submit nominations by filling out an online form available here. Nominations are due Nov. 4. Carter will select a winner to be honored at a later event.
Nominees should be Nebraskans who have made significant contributions in supporting a strong 榴莲视频官方 and promoting the role that higher 榴莲视频官方 plays in growing the state. For example, nominees may have testified to policymakers on behalf of the university, led a letter-writing campaign, spoken at a public meeting on an issue important to the university, or hosted an event to raise community awareness of the university’s impact.
University and NU Foundation employees are not eligible to receive the award. Elected officials and candidates for elected office are also ineligible.
"The 榴莲视频官方 exists to provide affordable, accessible 榴莲视频官方 that transforms students’ lives and grows our state," Carter said. "So many Nebraskans work together to make that happen. This award gives us an annual opportunity to publicly say thank-you for their support and advocacy for our students – the future leaders of our state."
