Greater Lafayette Commerce looking for active, involved students

Faculty and staff are invited to nominate students for the Community Activity Recognition Awards, sponsored by Greater Lafayette Commerce. The awards are for Purdue and Ivy Tech students who provide extraordinary service to the local community.

Interested faculty and staff may identify one to three students from their school or department and provide examples of their community service in Greater Lafayette. Send the students' names and e-mail addresses to Erin Nelson at enelson@greaterlafayettecommerce.com by Nov. 16.

Greater Lafayette Commerce will e-mail participation forms to each student requesting more information about their involvement in the community, their academic accomplishments, and their plans for the future.

A panel of judges, consisting of Greater Lafayette Commerce members from the University Relations Committee, will then select the students who will be named as the 2009 recipients of this award.

Typically, three to four students are selected. These recipients will receive special recognition and a plaque during the Purdue women's basketball game on Feb. 4.
