Each year, shortly before commencement, the Wilson Center bestows the Patrick Henry Public Service Awards at an
awards banquet which follows the Wilson Center Advisory Board spring meeting. It is also the final event of the year for students
in the Public Service program of the Wilson Center, and the seniors who have successfully completed the requirements of the
program receive certificates.
The Patrick Henry awards are given to H-SC alumni whose service to their country, their states, and/or their communities is deserving
of high praise and recognition. The 2005 Patrick Henry Public Service award recipients are:
- Mr. L. Rucker Snead III '81 (LTC, U.S.A. ret.), Hampden-Sydney, VA in recognition of distinguished service to the
people of the United States
- Mr. Gary O'Connell '73, Charlottesville, VA in recognition of distinguished service to the people of Charlottesville,
Virginia
A third Patrick Henry award was given earlier in the year, on February 14, to all Hampden-Sydney Alumni whose service in
Afghanistan and Iraq advanced the cause of global freedom and security.

There is yet another award that the Wilson Center occasionally bestows, the James Madison Award. This award goes to
friends of the College who have assisted the Center, either directly or indirectly, in carrying out its mission of civic education. The
James Madison award recipient in 2005 is Mr. Earl F. ("Frosty") Lockwood, who has helped the Wilson Center on numerous
occasions over the last decade, providing assistance with obtaining high quality speakers as well as providing financial support.
These award recipients were guests of honor at the April 29th banquet which was also attended by Wilson Center staff, members of the oversight committee and
Advisory Board, junior and senior Public Service Certificate Program students and other invited guests.
