The VMI Board of Visitors has created a committee to select the next recipient of the Jonathan Myrick Daniels ’61 Humanitarian Award. The award emphasizes the virtue of humanitarian public service and recognizes individuals who have made significant personal sacrifices to protect or improve the lives of others. The award affords cadets a continuing reminder that it is possible to embody and display heroic qualities of honor, loyalty, and devotion at any age and in any circumstances.
The committee is currently accepting nominations for possible award recipients. Please send nominations to BOVSecretary@vmi.edu no later than Dec. 15, 2024.
Nominations should include the name of the individual, contact information (if available), and a short summary of why you think the individual meets the award qualifications above. The award will be presented at the discretion of the VMI Board of Visitors, and as a condition of the award, the nominee must be willing to come to VMI to accept the award. Any questions may be directed to the BOV secretary at the email above.
