Call for Nominations: Tenth Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Involvement Recognition Awards
In honor of the late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s recognition that community service is essential to the struggle for equality, the 2005 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Symposium on Social Change Executive Planning Committee of the University of Pennsylvania is pleased to announce the Tenth Annual Community Involvement Recognition Awards. The awards honor members of the Philadelphia community whose active service to others best exemplifies the ideals Dr. King espoused.
This year we added a new Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Involvement Recognition Award in honor of Dr. Judith Rodin for her service and ensure that her legacy at Penn continues.
The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Involvement Recognition Awards will be presented to:
1. Staff and students of the Penn community involved in community service.
2. Residents of the broader neighborhood involved in community service.
3. Staff, students or residents who demonstrate significant contributions in community service through the advancement of education and educational opportunities in West Philadelphia.
The awards will be presented on January 20, 2005 as part of the University's commemoration of the King Holiday.

Please share this information with others in your schools, departments, and organizations so that we may identify those most deserving of this award.
