The President's Office is seeking nominations for the 2004 Derryberry Award, an honor given annually to a senior who has shown scholastic ability, participation in campus activities, citizenship, leadership and excellence in sports.

The deadline to submit nominations is Monday, March 1.

Eligible seniors include those scheduled to graduate in May or August, as well as students who graduated December 2003.

This year, a nomination form and a template to use as a guide for nominations are available online at www.tntech.edu/studentaffairs/derryberry_award.html. For consistency and ease in scoring, the award committee recommends that all nomination materials be prepared in the format used in the template.

The award was established in 1974 by friends, alumni and faculty with a special fund honoring long-time President Everett Derryberry. An ad hoc committee reviews nominations, interviews finalists and makes the final selection. Each year's winner receives a plaque and cash award.

Nominations should be submitted to Debbie Combs by e-mail at dkcombs or delivered to Derryberry 206.
