Nominations for the Juliet Nelson Award are open to all divisions. Students and parents are encouraged to review the criteria below and submit a nomination on or before May 7, 2021. As a reminder, this award is for Blake Faculty, not those in administrative positions.
 
The Juliet Nelson Award was established in memory of Blake alumna Juliet Nelson ’85, who entered Blake as a kindergartener and whose life ended in an automobile accident a few months after graduation. This award is given annually to a member of the Blake faculty who, during the course of the academic year, has taken the time to give of themself in a special way – as mentor, confidant, tutor or friend to a student. The award was created to affirm the kind of selfless, one-on-one support, instruction, good humor and friendship that characterize community at its best and turn an academic environment into a happy place for creative learning and personal growth. There are countless examples of this spirit at Blake.
 
Any Blake student or parent may nominate any Blake faculty member from any division for this award. Nominations may be made electronically, or please write on a piece of paper a description of the exchange, or series of exchanges, that have had a positive impact. Include the following information on your submission and return it on or before May 7, 2021 to the Head of School’s Office.
