St. Norbert College is now accepting nominations for the Civis Princeps Silver

Knight Award which will be presented at the 2008 De Pere Community Night on

Tuesday, Oct. 21. All nominations are due no later than Tuesday, Sept. 2.

Since 1968, De Pere Community Night has celebrated the relationship between

St. Norbert College and the De Pere community. The Civis Princeps Silver

Knight Award recognizes a resident of De Pere who exemplifies the Norbertine

tradition of self-emptying service to the community. The award is bestowed

upon an outstanding individual nominated by De Pere service clubs, civic

organizations or other members of the community. The winner each year is

selected by a vote of past recipients. Harry Macco was chosen as the Silver

Knight Award winner in 2007.

Each nominee must be a De Pere resident for a minimum of five consecutive

years who has demonstrated leadership, imagination and dedication and made

a significant public service contribution to the community of De Pere. Letters of

support and a summary of the nominee's community contributions should be

included with the nomination form. Anyone, including individuals, service

organizations and churches, can nominate individuals for this award. Previous

nominees must be re-nominated.

To request a nomination form via mail or for additional questions, please contact
