The James T. Neubacher Award Call for Nominations
Each October, during Investing in Ability Week, the James T. Neubacher Award is presented to a faculty or staff member, student, or alumna/alumnus for significant achievements in
- promoting acceptance and awareness of people with disabilities,
- advocating for the civil rights of people with disabilities, or
- removing barriers to full participation in programs and services for people with disabilities.
Established by the University of Michigan's Council for Disability Concerns in October 1990, the Award is a memorial to Jim Neubacher, an alumnus of the University. Jim was also a columnist for The Detroit Free Press and an advocate for equal rights and opportunities for people with disabilities.
The Award includes a stipend provided by the Office of the President. The deadline for nomination submission is June 4, 2008.
More information and nomination forms are available at http://www.hr.umich.edu/ability/neubacher.htm or by calling Anna Ercoli Schnitzer at 734.936.1402.
Sponsored by the Office of Institutional Equity.
