This week I discuss changes made to the process for selecting Missouri Public Affairs Hall of Fame recipients.
New policy approved for Public Affairs Hall of Fame
On April 17 we inducted three individuals into the Missouri Public Affairs Hall of Fame: George Washington Carver, Eric Greitens and Simone Bernstein. The induction ceremony and banquet was a nice event and was well attended by a large number of people from the University, the community and the state of Missouri.
We will induct another class into the Hall of Fame on April 14, 2016, at the White River Conference Center.
Last week we approved a new policy on external recognitions and awards that will guide us as we select future inductees into the Missouri Public Affairs Hall of Fame. We have formed a new selection committee that will vet nominations and select inductees based on their support of public affairs and engaged citizenship. This committee will meet throughout the summer and the academic year.
Nominations for 2017 are due July 1
The selection process will not vary significantly from the past. However, I want to point out one key difference. In the past we have solicited nominations with a July 1 deadline for the upcoming class. We have decided that it is more appropriate to select candidates earlier. Accordingly, to ensure consideration, nominations should be submitted before July 1 for the class two years later. For example, nominations should be submitted by July 1, 2015, for consideration in the class to be inducted in the spring of 2017.
My vision for the Public Affairs Hall of Fame is that we select a diverse class each year including both well-known and less well-known individuals with a connection to Missouri that have contributed to public affairs with their time and/or resources. To this end, it is critically important that we receive nominations of inductees as you come across good candidates in your professional and personal endeavors.
If you have a name to submit for consideration, please complete the online nomination form or contact Ryan DeBoef.
Thanks for all you do for Missouri State!
