With a new academic year comes a fresh chance to recognize those who serve the community.<\/p>\n

\"jefferson-awards-logo\"<\/a>UT\u2019s Jefferson Awards \u201cChampion\u201d program will mark its first year in January and has honored several students, staff and faculty members who have made a positive difference within the community.<\/p>\n

Emily Stinehart, UT\u2019s first winner, works with older adults, children and families in need.<\/p>\n

Barbara Kopp Miller has assisted so many people within several disciplines, while offering expertise, advice and sometimes a shoulder to cry on to colleagues.<\/p>\n

The University\u2019s most recent winner, Luc Blazejewski, rode a bicycle for 63 days as part of an effort to advocate for people with disabilities.<\/p>\n

Everyone knows people within the UT community who go the extra mile to help others, whether they act individually or as part of a group. Give these deserving \u201cChampion\u201d volunteers a pat on the back by nominating them for a UT Jefferson Award.<\/p>\n

Each month\u2019s winner is recognized during town hall meetings, has an article written in UT publications about his or her service, and is eligible for a national Jefferson Award.<\/p>\n

Nominating is easy. Just go to the Jefferson Awards Web page at www.utoledo.edu\/jeffersonaward\/form.html<\/a> and complete the brief form.<\/p>\n

Nominations must be received by 10 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 24, to be considered for this month\u2019s award.<\/p>\n
