John Hannah Award for Program Excellence
The John Hannah Award recognizes superior Extension programs that are
developed and carried out by MSU Extension professional staff members who are appointed by
the MSU Board of Trustees. It is considered the most prestigious of the Extension awards
as it recognizes the excellence of the program.
The award was established when Dr. John Hannah retired as president of Michigan State
University. The members of the agent and specialist associations voluntarily contributed
funds for a "suitable memorial to Dr. Hannah that would encourage professional
achievement among Extension staff." The earnings from these gifts, plus any further
gifts are used to support the award.
You may nominate programs conducted by a co-worker or yourself.
All board-appointed Extension staff members (campus, district, regional and
county) are eligible. Please follow the nomination
guidelines below.
Nominations are to be received by July 15
each year. Send the nomination to the current ESP President Elect, who also
serves as Awards Chair. See listing of Officers to identify the name and address of the President Elect.
