These nominations will be reviewed by university wide faculty committees, who will submit their recommendations to Barbara Lee, the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, and the President.
- Students, staff, faculty members, and recognized student or staff organizations are eligible to be nominated for the Rutgers College Class of 1962 Presidential Public Service Award.
