NC State Seeks Nominations For Watauga Medal

North Carolina State University is seeking nominations for the Watauga Medal, the highest non-academic honor awarded by the university.

NC State employees, Board of Trustees, and members of the Board of Governors are ineligible.

The medal, or medals, will be presented at the NC State Founders’ Day Dinner on March 8, 2010.
Nominations by alumni, friends and supporters of the university must be submitted by Friday, Sept. 4, to: Nevin Kessler, vice chancellor for University Advancement, NC State University, Campus Box 7004, Raleigh, NC 27695-7004.

Last year’s recipients were Lawrence Apple, Norris Tolson and Richard Vaughn.
