<strong>Nominations for the 2018 Justin Smith Morrill Lecture</strong><br>
<br>
Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
Each year the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) joins with the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) to sponsor a lecture presented at the APLU Annual Meeting. The lecture honors one of the three most important historical
figures of the Land-grant University system, William Henry Hatch for research, Seaman A. Knapp for extension, and Justin Smith Morrill for whom the Morrill Act which created the Land-grant University system is named.<br>
<br>
NIFA and APLU are seeking nominations to honor Justin Smith Morrill - the U.S. Senator primarily responsible for enactment of the historic legislation establishing the land-grant university system. The Justin Smith Morrill Memorial Lectureship is awarded to
honor outstanding contemporary leadership in teaching and significant contributions as an educator.<br>
<br>
We are seeking an insightful topic and a dynamic speaker, who can provoke discussion among meeting participants and prepare a formal lecture to be presented at the APLU Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, November 11-13, 2018. While we seek recommendations
from those within the Land-grant University system, we also would encourage you to share this memorandum with colleagues outside of the research, education, and extension system, including stakeholders, foundations, public interest groups, or international
organizations. Nominations are encouraged from all sources.<br>
<br>
Recommendations should include the name of the nominee, title, address, telephone number, and e-mail address and topic that could be discussed. Please submit your potential topic and/or presenter on or before
<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">July 15, 2018</span></strong></span>. Recommendations should be forwarded electronically to
<a style="color: rgb(0, 127, 183); font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" href="mailto:kwhittet@nifa.usda.gov">
<strong>Kimberly Whittet</strong></a>. A committee will review submissions and narrow the scope of the recommendations in order to make a final decision.<br>
<br>
Thank you for your assistance in this endeavor.<br>
<br>
Tom Shanower<br>
Acting Director</div>
