The Syracuse University Martin Luther King Jr. 2010 Celebration committee seeks nominations for the Unsung Heroes Awards, which will be presented during the 25th Annual MLK Celebration in the Carrier Dome on Jan. 24, 2010. The theme for this year’s celebration is “Continuing the Journey: Where do we go from here?” The awards are presented annually to people who, in the spirit of Dr. King’s “beloved community,” have made a positive difference in the lives of others, but who are not widely recognized for their efforts.

Nominations may be made in any of the following categories:

• Youth/teen from the Greater Syracuse community
• Adult from the Greater Syracuse community
• Student at SU or SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry
• Faculty or staff from SU or SUNY ESF

NOMINATION DEADLINE: Friday, Nov. 20, 2009.
