Greetings from the SMU Embrey Human Rights Program!
It is my honor to announce that the Embrey Human Rights Program has established
a human rights award entitled Triumph of the Spirit. This award is designed to
recognize an individual whose life and efforts have been and currently are
devoted to the defense, protection, and advocacy of human
rights as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
This award represents the interconnected spirit of humanitarians around the
world and a shared longing to support all of humanity. I would like to ask you
for assistance in identifying and nominating worthy candidates.
Criteria for the Triumph of the Spirit Award:
- The nominee does not need to be widely known. Ordinary individuals are made
extraordinary by their circumstances and by championing widespread and
meaningful change.
- The nominee should have an established reputation for integrity, creativity,
and dedication to human rights principles.
- The nominee must be an individual. Institutions, organizations, and groups
are not eligible.
- The recipient should embody the mission of the Embrey Human Rights Program.*
This year’s deadline for nominations is January 15, 2014. The nomination form
can be accessed at the following address:

Thank you for your efforts over the years to better our society and world.
There is no such thing as a lesser person.
Peace,
Rick Halperin
Director, Embrey Human Rights Program
*The mission of the Embrey Human Rights Program at Southern Methodist
University is to educate students and other members of the global community to

world.
