ORONO – The University of Maine’s Women in the Curriculum and Women’s Studies Program is seeking nominations for the 22nd annual Maryann Hartman Awards.
The award is named for the late Maryann Hartman, an associate professor of speech and communication at UM who was regarded as a distinguished educator, feminist, scholar and humanitarian.
Her research included comparisons of language patterns of Maine women and men born before 1900, oral autobiographies of Maine women born before 1900, and the use of oral interpretation to influence public policy.
Hartman died of cancer in 1980 at the age of 53.
Each year, UM honors three women whose achievements in the fields of the arts, sciences, education, athletics, politics, business or community service show their commitment to the spirit Maryann Hartman embodied.
The work of the women selected provides inspiration to others and demonstrates the levels of achievement now possible for women. Presented annually, the awards increase campus and community awareness of contemporary women’s accomplishments.
The program also awards the Maryann Hartman Young Women’s Social Justice Award to one young woman between the age of 12 and 18 who shows a commitment to service and the ideals of equality, diversity and tolerance.
Neither nominees nor nominators need to be affiliated with UM. The deadline for nominations is July 2.
For more information, visit www.umaine.edu/wic/both/hartman/hartman.htm, contact Regina Rooney at 581-1296 or e-mail her at regina.rooney@umit.maine.edu.
Nomination forms are available at 101 Fernald Hall at the Orono campus, and also can be e-mailed or mailed directly to nominators.
