Thoni Award Nominations Sought

The Thoni Award is an annual award honoring a graduating senior student from the adult undergraduate program (in Minneapolis or Rochester) whose actions, commitments, and future aspirations most profoundly demonstrate a commitment to Augsburg's motto of "Education for Service." The award (including a plaque and honorarium) is announced at the June commencement ceremony.

Faculty and staff are asked to nominate students for this award by May 24, 2013. In making a nomination, the nominator(s) should provide their name and the name of the student being nominated, and write a brief nomination entry that includes a response to the following:

1. Describe ways in which s/he has been called to service and how s/he has acted on this call (consider service to the college, faith community, neighborhood/community and/or family);

2. As you consider the nominee's background and future aspirations, please describe how the nominee's education as an adult learner will shape his/her service to others, in one or many roles (community member, parent, employee, citizen, etc.).

Nominations may be sent to Judi Green in the Dean's Office, greenj@augsburg.edu
