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. <br>
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 <a href="mailto:Jeremy.Sippel@tamuc.edu">Jeremy.Sippel@tamuc.edu</a>. <br>
You can click the links below to access the individual and group award nomination packets. If you have already submitted nominations, thank you. <br>
