Each year, Lasallian schools across the nation are invited to name honorees and in this way preserve the memory of the Founder and work of The Institute.              At this time, the Lasallian Distinguished Educator Award Review Committee, which makes rec-ommendations to the President, invites the campus community to submit nominations for the 2006 award.  I am writing on their behalf.  I ask that you submit the name of anyone whom you feel meets the qualifications for this award as described on the reverse side of this letter.  A statement in support of the candidate should accompany the nomination.  All faculty, staff and administrators are eligible for consideration.  However, in most years, the Regional Board of Education of the Christian Brothers adopts a unifying theme for the award.  This year, the theme is to honor those “whose lifetime commitment is to direct contact with young people with whom we work.”                I ask that you submit your nominations to me by March 15th either via campus mail (box 838) or via email.  Should you have any questions regarding this award, please feel free to contact me or any member of the nomination committee.

Lasallian Distinguished Educator Award Campus News  -  Page 2 La Salle University’s  Weekly Informational Circular                               The Lasallian Distinguished Educator Award is given annually to honor the life, the educational vision, and the practices of St. John Baptist De La Salle, the namesake of the university, the founder of the Christian Brothers, and the patron saint of all teachers.              The award is given to those who exhibit in their daily lives an understanding of and a commit-ment to Lasallian priorities and traditions: the paramount importance of teaching in a values framework, of working in association with others to build genuine community, of putting the needs of students first, of demonstrating a true sensitivity and respect for the uniqueness of the individual student.  This award recognizes those who have opened their hearts and minds to these ideals and devoted themselves to this work.              Award winners build others up and encourage the heart.  By doing so, they help colleagues and students experience the university’s heritage and its unique Lasallian identity.  They teach by example.  To paraphrase the works of St. La Salle, they, “put into practice what we want our students to believe.”  As a result, they impart to all in the La Salle Community the values that have animated and sustained the university.  In this way, they help the university transform students and, thereby, influence the kind of people they will become.              Because all members of the community contribute to an environment in which we “touch the hearts of students,”  the Lasallian Distinguished Educator Award is open to faculty, staff and administra-tors.  The following previous winners are not eligible for consideration:  Brother Emery Mollenhauer Anna Allen Brother Gerry Molyneaux Brother Daniel Burke Robert Meidel Raymond Ricci Michael Smith                               Lasallian Distinguished Educator Award  Campus News  -  Page 3 La Salle University’s  Weekly Informational Circular                              - - - -I : The annual Distinguished Lasallian Educator Award honors an educator who exemplifies the ideals of St. John Baptist de La Salle, Patron ofTeachers. The award is sponsored by the Regional Board of Education of the Christian Brothers in the name of all Lasallians of the United Statesfforonto Region. It is presented to one educator in each District of the Region, at the annual Huether Lasallian Workshop. : Each year, every institution in the Baltimore District is invited to select an educator to be honored with this award. A number of institutions use an internal process involving collegial input and nomination. At their Spring 2006 meeting, the Mission Council of the Baltimore District will compile all the profiles of the Baltimore District awardees and then select one representative for the Baltimore District to be recognized at the Huether LasaJlian Workshop. This coming year, as you are aware. the lluether Conference will reconvene after a one-year hiatus. Typically. nominees reflect the theme of the lluether Conference. This year the national office informs us that the theme will be "From Profession to Vocation." The idea here is that some sessions will focus on the life-long, transforming commitment to LasaJlian ministry within the Church. Therefore, the Regional Education Board suggests that the honorees this year might be chosen from among those whose lifetime commitment is to direct contact with the young people with whom we work. orne examples would include: the master teacher with five-by-five and a homeroom; the street social worker or child care worker; the teacher who is an informal mentor to all new faculty in a department; or that rarest of species, the teaching Brother. What we arc looking for is the sort of person who aspires to no supervisory position but who serves with sustained dedication "on the front lines."
