Women's Center Seeks Nominations for Annual Zintl Award

Sponsored by the University of Virginia Women's Center, the award honors a woman employed in any area of the University whose high degree of professionalism, commitment and creativity make a direct and significant impact on the academic enterprise.
 
The award also recognizes that leadership is found in many areas and positions within the academic community. It is named for the late writer and journalist, Elizabeth Zintl, who served as chief of staff in the Office of the President until her death in 1997.

Materials should include a letter of nomination from another member of the U.Va. community, three additional letters of support from within the University and the nominee's current resume or curriculum vita. It is recommended that one of the letters comes from outside the nominee's department, office or school.

The award carries a $1,000 prize for the honoree to use for her professional or personal development and will be presented in a fall ceremony.

Completed packets should be delivered to the U.Va. Women's Center by Feb. 18 to the attention of Mary Beth Lineberry, P.O. Box 800588, Charlottesville VA 22908 or e-mailed to mel9d@virginia.edu.
