Heritage Award nominations open

The deadline is Dec. 31 to submit nominations for the 2019 Heritage Award at Youngstown State University.

The award, started in 1981, recognizes former YSU faculty and professional/administrative staff that have made major contributions to the university. Nominees are reviewed by a 16-person committee comprised of representatives from each college, the administration, alumni and the YSU Retirees Association. Nominees are initially eligible to be selected for inclusion in the Heritage Register and are, in subsequent years, eligible for consideration to receive the Heritage Award.

Nominees must be former members of the faculty, full-time or part-time, or former full-time professional/administrative staff that have been separated from the university for a minimum of one year. Nominees may be living or deceased.

Recipients names are carved in a stone wall located in the YSU Foundation Heritage Park on campus. Formal announcement and presentation of the 2019 Heritage Award will occur at the faculty and staff award dinners in the spring.

Nomination forms may be downloaded and printed from the Human Resources website. For more information, including a complete list of previous Heritage Award recipients, visit the Employee Recognition webpage.

To make a nomination, complete the form and return it to Linda Moore, Human Resources, no later than Dec. 31. For more information, contact Linda Moore at 330-941-2137 or email lmoore@ysu.edu.
