Student photographer wins award

Lim took third place in the fashion category and also won an honorable mention for fashion photography. The MPPA 1995 Pictures of the Year is a contest for professional photographers.

In February, Lim took second place in a student competition sponsored by Photographer's Forum magazine. Her entry, "Shedding the Porcelain Skin," was one of 18,500 submitted.

Lim said she feels the MPPA contest is more meaningful as the competition from professional photographers already in the field is tougher than her student peer group.

Lim has been a photographer at the Daily for two years.

Nominations for `U' diversity award due today

The award honors the contributions of faculty working to create a more culturally and ethnically diverse campus.

The award is named for Johnson., who served as School of Social Work Dean, interim secretary of the University and special counsel to the University president.

Lester Monts, vice provost for academic and multicultural affairs, said in a statement that Johnson was a "great leader of our University community, who exemplified his commitment to cultural diversity during his distinguished career and service to the University."

Professors may be nominated if they are full-time, tenured or tenure-track assistants, associate or full professors on the Ann Arbor campus, and meet several criteria based on efforts to support cultural and ethnic diversity on campus.

Five awards will be presented to faculty members to support undergraduate and graduate students, travel, study groups, books or other discretionary purchases relating to personal research, scholarship and creative activity.

Nomination forms must be completed in full and submitted to the Office of the Vice Provost for Academic and Multicultural Affairs, 3084 Fleming Building by 5 p.m.
