Timothy Sykes Daytrading Award

Nominations

The Timothy Sykes Daytrading Award for the Talented recognizes individuals in the Tulane community whose abilities and accomplishments may not be in traditional areas of endeavor. The unique award was established six years ago by Sykes, a 2003 Tulane alumnus.

The 2009 winner is Matthew Holland, a 2003 graduate, who received the cash award in recognition of his work helping entrepreneurs in developing countries. Past winners include the 2008 winner, Maureen King, whose family built a farm where vegetables are grown untouched by pesticides. In 2007, the award went to alumna Susan Zaluski, whose career is in boat-building.

A Sykes Award candidate may self-nominate or be nominated by another member of the Tulane community by means of a statement (minimum of two pages) that describes the individual's talent and includes a listing of his or her related accomplishments or an example of the applicant's work. Nominations are open to any member of the Tulane community — student, faculty, staff or young alumni. Applications for the award will be reviewed by a committee appointed by Tulane President Scott Cowen.

Sykes Award Nominations may be submitted by e-mail to timsykesaward@tulane.edu or by mailing them to the Tulane University Office of Development, 6823 St. Charles Ave., New Orleans, LA 70118.
