Tue Mar 28 10:37:29 CDT 2023

Good morning!
Quick reminder, student organization award nominations are due THIS WEEK THURSDAY AT 5 P.M. on MANESYNC. To clarify some questions that have been raised, winners are not determined by how many times you submit a nominee. Please do not submit multiple nominations for the same person or organization because you think more nominations is guaranteed to win; please submit nominations that are well-written, thought out, and thoroughly explain why an individual or organization is deserving of an award. The award reviewers will be reviewing nominations based off a rubric that includes scoring based off the criteria for an award. Please make sure you are writing nominations with those criteria in mind.
There will not be any acceptance of late nominations. Once the deadline has passed, no more nominations will be accepted; make sure your nomination is completed by 5 p.m. this Thursday. If you have any difficulty with the system, please contact Jeremy Sippel at Jeremy.Sippel at tamuc.edu<mailto:Jeremy.Sippel at tamuc.edu>.
