The Jack Wood Award for Town/Gown Relations honors former Mayor Jack Wood, the driving force for arranging a campus to be located on land adjacent to the then Town of Fairfax.
The Office of Government and Community Relations presents this university/community-wide award to recognize faculty, staff, students, businesses/not-for-profits, community members, and elected officials/staff who demonstrate leadership in fostering mutually beneficial relationships between the university and the community.
To nominate yourself or someone else, submit the online form by March 20. Award recipients will be notified by April 8, with an award ceremony to be held May 2 in conjunction with the Board of Visitors meeting.
