The NDSU Staff Senate Gunkelman Award committee is seeking nominations for this year's Mary McCannel Gunkelman Recognition Award. Nominations must be submitted by Friday, March 27.
The honor recognizes a student or employee of NDSU who has made the most significant and unselfish contributions to creating a happy environment for the enjoyment of NDSU students. Nomination information can be found at www.ndsu.edu/staff_senate/.
The recipient will be announced during an award ceremony and reception scheduled for Wednesday, May 6, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Memorial Union Plains room.
The award was established in 1987 by the late John L. Gunkelman and his family in memory of Mary McCannel Gunkelman, a 1942 graduate of the NDSU College of Home Economics.
She was dedicated to the principle that a student would be more apt to attain his or her full potential if they were working and living in an enjoyable environment. She believed the more enjoyable the campus and programs, the better NDSU would be in the future.
As a student-focused, land-grant, research university, we serve our citizens.
