DISTINGUISHED ACKIEVEMENT MEDALS



(Board of Trustees Meeting, March 4 and 5, 1978)



The Board turned to a proposal to award medals for distin-



guished achievement and service, a subject which had been discussed



previously by the Board. The Guidelines contained in the proposal



follow:

Those honored at Commencement on each Campus will number

each year from zero to four.



Those selected to be honored will be chosen by the Board



of Trustees.



The Board of Trustees will make its determination from a

group of not more than 10 to be presented to them each year

for each Commencement.



The President will generate proposals from various sectors

of the College community for the purpose of nomination.



The award will be in the form of a medallion, encased

properly, and the award will be accompanied by an inscribed

statement of accomplishment to be read at Commencement.



The basis for the award will be to recognize "people who

have through service and achievements contributed to the

well-being and growth of the Virgin Islands." This basis rests

on previous discussions of the Board of Trustees.



It is proposed to designate the awards as the "Trustees'



Distinguished Achievement Awards."

~~



acted to include an 8th entry to read:

service on the Board of Trustees for these Distinguished



Achievement Awards.



After discussion of this proposal, it was moved, seconded,



and unanimously voted to accept this proposal with the above-



mentioned modification.
