Nominations Sought for Civic Engagement Awards

03/02/2015 

SUNY Cortland’s Institute for Civic Engagement (ICE) once again will recognize individuals for their significant contributions to improve quality of life at the College and in the community through their leadership in meaningful local projects.

SUNY Cortland students, faculty, staff and local community members can nominate another person, group or themselves for a Leadership in Civic Engagement Award.

Nominations and self-nominations for the awards will be accepted until Friday, March 6. Nomination forms are available on the Leadership in Civic Engagement Awards website.

Recipients will be recognized with a certificate at the annual Leadership in Civic Engagement Awards reception at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, April 23, in Brockway Hall Jacobus Lounge.

Applications for civic engagement scholarships also are available to SUNY Cortland students returning for the 2015-16 academic year. Scholarship information can be found at cortland.academicworks.com by searching with the keywords “community service.” Scholarship applicants automatically will be considered for a Leadership in Civic Engagement Award.

Last year’s awards were presented to 26 SUNY Cortland students, eight faculty and staff members, three community members, one community group and the students of two campus classes. Civic engagement activities of past recipients include involvement with:

  • the Wickwire Pool Project
  • Loaves and Fishes
  • the Make-a-Wish Foundation
  • the YWCA’s Bridges for Kids afterschool program
  • the American Red Cross
  • the Cortland Regional Medical Center

For more information, contact the ICE at 607-753-2403.
