Provost Jones and The CAFLS/PSA administration invites you to nominate a colleague for the Rowland P. Alston, Sr., ’42 Award for Excellence in Public Relations.
The award was established in 2009 to recognize outstanding Clemson University faculty or staff who, through programs and activities related to agriculture and/or natural resources, have provided Clemson University with positive visibility throughout South Carolina, the United States, and the world. Recipients may be from any discipline or area of the university, but should utilize agriculture or the natural resources as their vehicle of influence.
The award includes a $2,000 stipend and a plaque for the recipient. The award is made possible by an endowment established by Rowland Alston, retired extension agent and former host of the public television program “Making It Grow,” in memory of his father.
A representative committee of faculty and staff will select the award recipient. Nominations are confidential, and nominees should not be apprised of their nominations.
