Office of Engagement seeking Jefferson Awards nominations; deadline extended to March 9

The Office of Engagement is seeking nominations for the Jefferson Awards, which recognize and celebrate individual Purdue employees for meaningful public service to their communities. The deadline for nominations has been extended to March 9.

Purdue partners with Multiplying Good for the awards. For over 45 years, the Jefferson Awards have served to change communities and the world by inspiring action through celebration. The Office of Engagement is seeking nominations for individuals young and old, regardless of classification or rank, who reflect the spirit of Purdue as a land-grant university through giving back to their communities in meaningful way.  All active employees are eligible to be nominated, and self-nominations are welcome.

Purdue will recognize up to six award winners each year – three each semester – and the top Jefferson Award winner will be selected from these awardees to represent Purdue at the annual national awards ceremony in Washington, D.C.

The nomination form may be accessed online.
