John S. Glas Honorary Letter Winner Award

Individuals who were not student-athletes at BSU but have had a major impact on Beaver Athletics

The John S. Glas Honorary Letter Winner Award was created in 2011 and is intended to recognize an individual or individuals who, though not student-athletes at BSU, have had a major impact on BSU Athletics, much like the late John Glas did during his 34-year tenure at BSU. His service included roles as vice president for finance and briefly as acting president from 1967 to 1968. His strong support of athletics earned him the honor of having the fieldhouse named after him upon his retirement in 1975.

This award bearing his name symbolizes the fact that Beaver Athletics is much more than the sum-total of its student athletes and coaches. Many people share their passion, energy and time with the Green and White, including some whose commitment is especially significant and enduring.

You must answer all questions completely. Nomination forms must be completed by the nominator. Please do not use acronyms, abbreviations or jargon without a first-reference explanation. Any information written that is not understood by the council will be omitted.

Nomination submissions are due by Jan. 1 for each yearly cycle.
