Hand Me Down Night: emerson recognition and achievement (era) awards ceremony 2009

ERA Awards 2009: It’s a New Night

A long standing Emerson tradition, the Emerson Recognition & Achievement (ERA) Awards celebrate student and campus leadership and recognize the infinite achievements of Emerson College community.  The event, formerly known as Hand Me Down Night, has undergone several transformations in recent years; the underlying theme, however, remains the same. The night aims to pass the reigns of leadership from one leader to the next.

Additionally, through a college-wide nominations process an additional 8 “Specialized Awards” are given out to recognize those groups and individuals who have demonstrated particular excellence during the course of the academic year.  The annual recipients of  The Isabel Sanford Scholarship, Alumni Award of Distinction, Student Employee of the Year  and the ERA Award of Distinction will also be announced during the event.

All Emersonians - students, faculty, staff, and administrators are welcome to participate in the ERA Awards, regardless of their affiliation with undergraduate student clubs and organizations.  This event offers an excellent opportunity for networking and making connections among all members of our community.  The ERA Awards offers all attendees a chance to learn more about what the collective community has accomplished over the course of the academic year.

The night is one of Emerson College’s longest-standing and most important traditions. The tradition remains, but the ERA Awards 2009 is a new "Night."
