Stewart Award Nominations are Due March 16

Nominations are being accepted for the Bruce B. Stewart Awards through Friday, March 16. The awards are named in honor of Stewart, a 1961 graduate who served his alma mater as director of admission, assistant professor of education, assistant to the president, acting academic dean, provost, acting president, associate to the vice president for development, trustee, chair of the Board of Trustees and trustee emeritus. Stewart is head of school at Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C.

The awards of $5,000 each were generously established and endowed by Trustee Bill Soles, his wife, Melanie, his sister, Jan Soles, and their father, the late W. Roger Soles.
