The Friends of The Daily Texan remind Texan supporters that nominations for the 2015 Daily Texan Hall of Fame awards must be submitted by Sept. 9.
These awards recognize Daily Texan alumni who have led distinguished careers and individuals who have demonstrated support for The Daily Texan.
Since it began publishing five days a week in 1913, The Daily Texan has been a springboard for journalists who have gone on to distinguished careers chronicling politics and the White House; civil rights battles at home and wars in distant lands; science, culture, sports and more—and to win Pulitzers, Emmys and other awards doing so. The Texan also has benefitted from guidance and support from accomplished individuals within academia and outside of the media.
After a rigorous nomination and selection process, the 2015 Hall of Fame awards will be presented at the Oct. 16 annual meeting of Friends of The Daily Texan. The inaugural awards were presented in 2013, and first-year winners included Walter Cronkite, Lady Bird Johnson, Bill Moyers and nine other distinguished Daily Texan alumni.
