Nominations Sought for 5th Annual

Middlebury College Public Service Leadership Awards

The Middlebury

College Volunteer Services Program and College President John

McCardell are seeking nominees for the fifth annual Middlebury

College Public Service Leadership Awards, which recognize students

for their volunteer efforts. Currently enrolled Middlebury College

students who have actively engaged in public service during the

1998-99 academic year are eligible. Individuals or organizations

in the College and/or Addison County community may submit nominations,

and students are encouraged to nominate peers, as well as self-nominate.

Award winners will receive plaques of appreciation at an honorary

dinner, and choose organizations to which College donations will

be made on their behalf.

Due by Wednesday, April 15, applications

for nominations are available from the student activities office

in McCullough Student Center on Old Chapel Road off South Main

Street (Route 30). Contact the student activities office at 802-443-3100

for more information.

Middlebury College students have a

long tradition of providing volunteer services to the community.

Last year about one in every three students-over 700 volunteers-donated

time and energy to a wide range of individuals and organizations,

from Addison County Women in Crisis and the Sheldon Museum to

Mary Hogan Elementary School students and the Porter Medical Center’s

Round Robin Thrift Store.
