This award ceremony gathers members of the Stanford Asian American community and recognizes individuals for their tremendous service, achievement, and dedication. Faculty, staff, alumni, and undergraduate and graduate students are honored for their contributions to the community.
Who May Nominate?
Any member of the Stanford community may nominate for one or more of these awards. Members of the Stanford community are also encouraged to nominate across categories by nominating individuals who are not in their respective organizations or spheres of influence (e.g. faculty members may nominate students and vice versa).
Why Nominate?
The Asian American community at Stanford needs to recognize those individuals who have shown great dedication in spite of little recognition. By honoring those individuals, the Asian American community can become more aware of what others are doing to improve interaction and multiculturalism on the Stanford campus and abroad. Each award recipient receives a plaque to commemorate the occasion, as well as extensive public recognition.
When to Nominate?
The deadline to nominate is Noon on Friday, March 7, 2011
How to Nominate?
Fill out the online nomination form here.
View Award categories here.
Nominators will be required to fill out one (1) nomination form per nominee per category. All nominations must be submitted by Noon on March 7, 2011. Nominations will be held active for two (2) years for future use.
The Stanford Asian American Awards will be held on May 11th, 2011 at Paul Brest Hall. More Information to come.
