Nominations sought for 2019 JoAnn Miller Exemplary Community Partner Award

Nominations are being accepted from Purdue faculty, staff and students for the annual JoAnn Miller Exemplary Community Partner Award, which recognizes a local community agency that has made a significant contribution to student development and learning by providing volunteer and educational opportunities. 

Nominees must be a not-for-profit organization, a school, or a unit of local government within Tippecanoe County that has partnered with Purdue to provide volunteer and/or service learning opportunities that demonstrate excellence in engaging students in meaningful service to the community.  

The selection criteria are:  

• Meaningful service is defined as service that is reciprocal. Students learn about challenges/issues in the community and are empowered to address them while the partner agency receives valuable services and resources.        
• The partner agency acts as co-educator for the students.

Nominations should be made online at JoAnn Miller Exemplary Community Partner Award Nomination by 5 p.m. March 8. Nominators also need to upload a statement support for the nomination. Faculty and staff nominators will need to submit a statement from a Purdue student, and student nominators will need submit a statement from a Purdue faculty or staff member.
