The campus community is invited to submit nominations for the Chancellor’s Awards for Public Service to recognize students, staff, and faculty for their contributions to civic engagement in 2007-2008.

In the spring, a reception honoring this year’s awardees will be hosted by Chancellor and Mrs. Birgeneau at University House to celebrate the depth, breadth, and creativity of UC Berkeley’s public service.

Individuals, groups, and programs may be nominated in the following categories:

Civic Engagement:  Recognizes public service by individual undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff, as well as student groups.

Research in the Public Interest:  Recognizes research that addresses critical areas and issues affecting our local, state, national, or global communities.

Campus/Community Partnerships:  Recognizes a program or project that brings together UC Berkeley students, staff, or faculty and community groups to improve the quality of life in our community.
