The Syracuse University Martin Luther King Jr. 2015 Celebration committee is seeking nominations for the Unsung Heroes Award, which will be presented during the evening celebration in the Carrier Dome on Jan. 18, 2015. The awards are presented annually to people who, in the spirit of Dr. King’s “beloved community,” have made a positive difference in the lives of others, but who are not widely recognized for their efforts.

Nominations may be made in any of the following categories:
• Youth/Teen from Onondaga, Madison, Oswego, Cayuga or Cortland counties
• Adult from Onondaga, Madison, Oswego, Cayuga or Cortland counties
• Student at Syracuse University or SUNY-ESF

The deadline for submitting nominations is Friday, Oct. 17, 2014.
