DON FORTENBERRY AWARD
The Don Fortenberry Award is presented each year to a graduating student from any undergraduate academic division of the College who is considered to have performed the most notable, meritorious, diligent and devoted service to Millsaps College with no expectation of recognition, reward, or public remembrance.
The Fortenberry Award pays tribute to the inestimable contributions of the former College Chaplain, the Reverend Don Fortenberry, who gave selflessly to the Millsaps community and to the enhancement of student character through more than three decades of servant-leadership. The Fortenberry Award is the highest student honor bestowed by the College for contributions outside the classroom.
Criteria to be considered, but not inclusive of all areas considered, include: excellence in scholarship, superior leadership, significant or lasting contributions, commitment to a mission for community service, embrace of human diversity and difference, and involvement in campus life. A nominee need not demonstrate superior performance in ALL of the aforementioned categories to merit application submission.
You are invited to submit a letter of nomination for this accolade to the Division of Student Life, Boyd Campbell Center 3rd Floor Office, by our deadline date of Friday, March 29, 2013, 4:30 p.m.
If you encounter questions or concerns, please direct them to Brit Katz at 974-1206 or at brit.katz@millsaps.edu.
