They are awarded in the Spring to those persons who advance the ideals of Thomas Jefferson, which include:
• broad interests in literature, arts and sciences, and public affairs;
• a strong concern for the advancement of higher education;

• a profound commitment to the welfare and rights of the individual
The special significance of the award is its integration of excellence in performance of regular responsibilities with outstanding service to the broader community. Nominees should be members of the teaching faculty, the student body, or the classified or professional exempt staff whose achievements reflect superior performance in their normal work or scholarship and notable participation in humanitarian activities.
