The Trustees of the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation have approved Troy University to grant the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award annually to one man and one woman of the graduating class and to one non-student.  The criteria suggest that the award be given “only in recognition of fine spiritual qualities, practically applied to daily living, as distinct from high scholarship, athletic achievement, and success in business, professional ability, political leadership, or more worldly prominence in any calling.  On the other hand, it is realized that the highest spiritual and humanitarian qualities may well be found in intimate and inseparable association with a successful pursuit of such followings.”

            Members of the University faculty, staff and student body are requested to make recommendations for this award by completing a nomination form on each nominee they recommend.  Nomination forms are attached to this email message and are also available in the Student Government Association Office (215 Trojan Center) on the Troy campus and Trojan Today.  Student nominees must be seniors who have graduated or will graduate during the current academic year or no later than August 2012.

            Recipients of this award will be honored April 16^th, 2012 at the Honors Convocation.  They will receive a trophy and a certificate.
