Nominations sought for Hancher-Finkbine awards

The Finkbine Dinner Committee invites nominations of University of Iowa alumni to receive one of the prestigious Hancher-Finkbine Medallions at the 85th anniversary Finkbine Dinner on April 16, 2002. Recipients of the Hancher-Finkbine Medallions are chosen for the manner in which they exemplify the characteristics of learning, leadership, and loyalty. The Finkbine Dinner Committee selects a female recipient in odd-numbered years, and a male recipient in even-numbered years. In keeping with tradition, a male recipient will be chosen this year.

The Hancher-Finkbine Medallions were established in 1964 to recognize learning, leadership, and loyalty. The Medallions are named for William O. Finkbine, the founder of the Finkbine Dinner, and Virgil M. Hancher, a student guest at the first Finkbine Dinner in 1917, who went on to serve as president of The University of Iowa for 24 years. Four outstanding students, one professor, and an alumnus are honored each year.

The deadline for receipt of nominations is Nov. 5. For a description of the criteria, a nomination form, and a complete list of previous recipients, contact the Finkbine Dinner Committee at (33)5-3557 or 249 IMU. For more information, e-mail Belinda Marner at belinda-marner@uiowa.edu.
