Do you know a drum major?
If so, please take the time to assist us in recognizing individuals (University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and regionally) and/or organizations whose contributions promote social justice and advancement to underrepresented ethnic and racial groups. The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Drum Major Award recognizes excellence in leadership, service, dedication and compassion.
The nomination process is straightforward. We ask that you provide evidence of excellence in the criteria identified above by completing the attached nomination form. IT'S THAT EASY! The time that it takes to nominate someone and/or an organization is small in comparison to the time that they have dedicated to making our campus and communities better for all.
Please assist us in our desire to award those who give so much of themselves that our lives are more enriched. It can be your way of saying thank you to someone or an organization that made a difference in your life.
