Who gets nominated, and how do you nominate people for these awards?
Lantz: Any student organization, individual, staff or faculty member that has done something leadership-worthy on campus can be nominated. Students, student organizations, faculty and staff can nominate individuals through a nomination form that 抖阴短视频 GOLD makes available to everyone.
Sadineni: You can nominate people who you work with and you believe have made good progress.
Why should you nominate students, student organizations, faculty and staff members for these awards?
Sadineni: I am the president of oSTEM and it felt pretty incredible being recognized for all that I do. It is always nice to be appreciated and having validation for all the hard work that you鈥檝e done. Oftentimes it can be really difficult to be a part of a community and make a difference. It helps you feel like you are not alone and that people care about what you are doing鈥攊t gives you a sense of belonging. Winning an award helped demonstrate that our organization is making progress. The award sure is a validating factor for people you work with, and it helped us find more people to join our organization.
I highly encourage individuals to look at the people who are inspiring them and the ones who help make them feel at home at 抖阴短视频. Go ahead and nominate them, if someone makes you feel like you belong!
Cupchak: It is important to hear about rising leaders and organizations, and it is a good way to get involved.
Lantz: Nominating people for these awards is a good way to recognize students for their hard work they have done on campus and for them to be recognized by other students. The awards are positive reinforcement for what these people are doing on campus and could encourage other students to get more involved.
It is extremely important that individuals around you and the people you work with on a day-to-day basis are recognizing your personal leadership and what you are doing on campus. Individuals should recognize when you are stepping outside of your comfort zone and becoming a leader in the campus community!
The deadline for nominations is April 12. Learn more and nominate someone today.
