Awards
The LGBT & Ally Education Program presents two awards each year to deserving JMU community members whose services have a resounding impact on the LGBT & Ally community. It is with these awards do we give our appreciation by honoring those exemplary individuals who strive for the education, advocacy, and support of the LGBTIQA community.
If you know of a person who deserves recognition for their achievements, please fill out a nomination form by clicking on either of the award descriptions. Nomination for awards will be reviewed by a committee of JMU staff, faculty, and students. All awards will be presented at Lavender Graduation.
