The M.L.K. Commemoration Committee is thrilled to share that nominations are now open! We seek your nomination for the 2023 Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Volunteer Recognition Award. Our question: Whom do you know that should be noted for how their work continues the legacy of Dr. King at UW SSW? Won’t you take a moment to nominate that person, program or group?
With our Health Sciences Center colleagues, we will recognize awardees at this two-part, program that honors those who exemplify the national holiday’s principles through their:
Commitment to addressing community needs, particularly BIPoC and those who are marginalized;
Development and implementation of significant programs to improve the human condition;
Outstanding efforts to protect and empower all people.
Please nominate a UW SSW student, staff, faculty member or group! Describe the good work they have done and the ways this matches the award’s criteria above. Please submit your brief letter of support for your nominee(s) to our MLK Commemoration Committee, attention: M.L.K.C.C., mwambk@uw.edu, no later than Sunday, December 04th at 11:59p.m.
