Re:                           Nominations for Outstanding Senior Awards

 

Each year we request nominations for senior awards; Freeman, Robie, and
Nugent, which are the only student awards presented at the May commencement
ceremonies.  PLEASE SOLICIT NOMINATIONS FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT and
ORGANIZATION FOR DESERVING STUDENTS. The awards will be presented to six
outstanding graduating seniors, two recipients for each award.

 

The Awards:

 

FREEMAN MEDALS:  In his will, Dr. Merrill P. Freeman provided funding for
two medals to be awarded annually to students selected by the administration
of The University of Arizona.  Born in 1844 in Ohio, Dr. Freeman moved west,
was a Wells Fargo agent and worked in mining and banking.  He served The
University of Arizona as a regent and as a chancellor and received an
honorary doctorate in law from the University.  

 

NUGENT AWARDS:  These were established by the Alumni Association in 1964 and
are named in memory of Robert Logan Nugent who was the Executive Vice
President of The University for more than 30 years and was particularly
devoted to guiding and helping Arizona's students.  He earned his M.S. in
1925 at The University of Arizona, was a professor of chemistry, dean of the
graduate and liberal arts colleges and vice president, before being named to
the second highest post at the University.

 

ROBIE MEDALS:  These medals and a cash award were provided by the late
Wendel T. Robie of the UA class of 1917 and his wife, Inez Benzie Robie,
class of 1916.  Mr. Robie was president of Heart Federal Savings and Loan
Association in Auburn, California.

 

Criteria:

 

Please nominate eligible undergraduate students who have demonstrated
above-average scholastic ability, citizenship, leadership, and promise for
the future.  Please do not nominate students based only on cumulative grade
point average.  These awards are for well-rounded individuals whose
contributions through co-curricular and community activities and leadership
are evident. You need not specify the award for which a student is being
nominated; the committee considers all eligible nominees for each award.

 

Eligibility:

 

Eligible students are those who have received a baccalaureate degree since
the last May commencement (May 2012) or who will receive one at the May 2013
Commencement.  Those planning to graduate in May 2013 must have filed for
May 2013 graduation.
