Call for Nominations for the
William T. Elberty Medal
Dear St. Lawrence Geology Alumni and Friends,
In 2004, the Geology Department instituted a tradition of awarding
a
medal, named for William T. Elberty, to recognize those alumni with
long
standing support and dedication to the St. Lawrence University Geology
Department. This medal was named after Bill to recognize his
long
history of dedication to his students and the University, and will be
awarded every three years as part of the St. Lawrence University
Geology Alumni Conference (SLUGAC). This year's award will
be presented at the R.O. Bloomer Banquet during SLUGAC 6 this
coming Fall, and award nominations for the Elberty Medal Award
are currently being sought.
Eligibility: Awardees may be
St. Lawrence alumni, faculty/staff,
current
students or friends of the Geology Department. The award is
intended to
honor a sustained pattern of acts of service to the Geology Program, to
its education mission in classroom, laboratory or field, to its
students, faculty or staff in their teaching/research endeavors, or to
its alumni in their activities related to the St. Lawrence Geology
Department.
Nomination process: Nominations
