NOMINATIONS SOUGHT FOR HUMANITARIAN AWARDS

Nominations are being accepted through Feb. 7 for the Larry Selland Humanitarian Award. The award was created in 1997 to honor the men and women of Boise State who best exemplify the caring nature, compassion and integrity of the late Dr. Larry G. Selland, former dean, executive vice president and interim president of the university. Selland was also a tireless advocate for women and minorities.

Selland, who died of cancer in 1996, was a firm supporter of the Women’s Center and as interim president secured funds for the Children’s Center, renovation of the Canyon County Center, additional student apartments and other projects.

Two awards are given each year. One goes to a student in good academic standing and one to a current faculty or staff member. To nominate someone, go to the Women’s Center Web site at http://womenscenter.boisestate.edu and click on "What’s New." Award recipients will be honored at the annual awards breakfast on March 18 in the Student Union Lookout Room.
