Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Vision Awards 2024 Call for Nominations

Fairfield University’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Committee invites nominations for the 2024 Vision Awards.

The MLK Celebration Committee encourages you to nominate a Fairfield University undergraduate or graduate student, faculty, or staff member who demonstrates a commitment to the ideals and values of Dr. King. These individuals may be unsung heroes, working tirelessly and with humility to advocate for justice and promote unity in our community.

The MLK Celebration Committee would also like to highlight the return of the Community Leader Vision Award. We will recognize a Fairfield County (or Greater Fairfield-Bridgeport area) community leader or activist who embodies the spirit of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We invite you to nominate an individual dedicated to achieving a "more just, humane and peaceful world." (Please note that sitting elected officials are not eligible for the community leader award.)

Please nominate members of our community who have been working toward racial justice, gender equality, environmental justice, immigration, or other important issues. The nomination deadline is November 21. Please clearly note the award category that you are nominating the person for on the nomination form.
