The Community Service Office is seeking nominations for the annual Gerry and Bob Virgil Ethic of Service Award. The award recognizes WUSTL community members who believe in and shape the future of the St. Louis region.
Nominees should be people who inspire compassion and action in others; dedicate themselves to community involvement; go above and beyond professional responsibilities in their service to St. Louis; or exhibit passion for a social, cultural or economic issue in St. Louis.
Founded during the university’s sesquicentennial year, the award is named in honor of Gerry and Bob Virgil, who for more than 30 years have represented the qualities of service and giving exemplified by the award.
Any member of the university community, past or present, who resides in and serves the St. Louis region is eligible for nomination. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, retirees and volunteers of the university may receive the award.
Nominations must be received by Feb. 4, 2011. Submissions will be reviewed by the Gerry and Bob Virgil Ethic of Service Award Committee; decisions will be announced in March.
