~Message from Tom Nesbitt~

It is that time of year again. With the SUNYCAP Conference being held in less than 2 months, June 11-13th @ the Rochester Hyatt, it is time to nominate those who have gone above and beyond for both their campus and the SUNY system for one of our Awards of Merit. This years awards ceremony will have added excitement as we get the first opportunity to honor two of our founding members via the newly named Larry Appel New Professionals Award and the Dave Truax SUNYCAP Service Award.

The deadline for nominations is May 27th and the Awards Committee is looking forward to reviewing the merits of those who serve SUNY so well. There are 16 possible categories to nominate for so please read through the attached document (see link below) and think about those individuals in our profession who have impressed you. Let me know if you have additional questions. You can either PDF the application to me at nesbittw@potsdam.edu or print it off and send it in the mail to the address on the form.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the conference.
