Boise State Women's Center Seeks Nominations for Selland Award

Nominations are being accepted through Feb. 5 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 Larry G. Selland, former dean, executive vice president and interim president of the university. Selland was a tireless advocate for women and minorities.

Selland, who died of cancer in 1996, was an early 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 to a student in good academic standing and one to a current faculty or staff member. To submit a nomination or for more information on the award, go to the Women’s Center Web site at http://womenscenter.boisestate.edu  and click on “Events.” Nominations can also be sent to Larry Selland Award Committee, Women’s Center, 1910 University Drive, Boise, ID 83725-1335. For more information, contact the Women’s Center at (208) 426-4259.

Recipients will be honored at an awards breakfast on March 14.
