The Sullivan Awards Committee is now seeking nominations for recipients of the 2009 Sullivan Medallions, to be awarded at Commencement at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 9.

For 76 years, the University of Kentucky has been one of several southern universities that have awarded the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Medallion to graduating male and female students and one non-student in recognition of their community service activities.
