Students should be nominated and recommended using the following criteria: work ethic, initiative, quality of work, disposition, and contribution to the employer. The supervisor’s description of how the student meets each of the criteria assists the committee in the decision making process. The quality of these descriptions is the sole basis upon which the selections are made. Nominations<\/a> are due Monday, March 31<\/strong>. The reception to honor award recipients will be held on Thursday, April 17, 11 a.m.-1 p.m<\/strong>. in the Student Center Ballrooms.
