Call for 2009 Jim Pearce Leadership Nominations

The Jim Pearce Leadership Trip was initiated in 1992 for the purpose of honoring Baylor students of admirable character whose selfless efforts might otherwise go unrecognized by the school or by their peers. We are looking for students that you know have contributed to what is good about this school - students who continue to work for the good of others without regard for reward or recognition. Recipients of this honor are leaders by example.  If you know of a rising Senior who fits this description, please write why you think they deserve this trip and submit it to the Deans office or e-mail it to Shaw Wilson by February 15th.

Your voice may be the deciding factor in our selection. The Deans office will be accepting nominations from all upper school students, faculty, and staff. Nominations should be in the form of a detailed explanation of why you think a particular student deserves the honor of this trip. Eligible students include all rising  Seniors (this years' Juniors). Last year's Colorado Trip recipients are listed below. Nominations will be reviewed by the Jim Pearce Leadership Selection Committee in order to choose the twelve students whose nominations best fit the philosophy of rewarding selfless character. Recipients of this honor will accompany us to the snowy peaks of Silverton Colorado for nine days of backpacking in late August.

All expenses are covered by Jim Pearce. If you have any questions about the selection process, please do not hesitate to call, e-mail Shaw Wilson, or stop by the Deans office.  If you have questions about details of the trip itself, contact Tim Williams in the Walkabout office.
