Request for Nominations: Samuel DuBois Cook Society Awards
(must be received by October 31, 2009)
The Samuel DuBois Cook Society invites nominations of individuals from every sector of the Duke Community—staff, faculty, administration, students—undergraduate, graduate or professional. Founded to be an instrument of social engagement and change, the Cook Society seeks to recognize members of the Duke community who, though often unheralded, reflect in their work or in their academic pursuits, the objectives to which Dr. Cook dedicated his professional life—to translate the promise and potential of African Americans into fulfillment and actuality, and to seek to improve relations among persons of all backgrounds. The 2010 Sammie Awards will be presented at the Cook Society Dinner on February 16, 2010. Dinner information will follow at a later date.
