Nominations are being sought for the 2009 Mary McCannel Gunkelman Recognition Award, which annually recognizes one NDSU student or employee who has made the most significant and unselfish contribution to creating a happy environment for NDSU students.
NDSU students and employees are invited to nominate one student, faculty or staff member. Nominators are asked to provide specific examples of how their nominee has had a direct impact on making NDSU a pleasant, cheerful campus during the 2008-09 academic year. Multiple nominations from one individual will not be accepted.
“In past years, we've received anywhere between 20 and 50 nominations. The recipient of this award has been recognized every year since 1987,” said Nancy Mueller, chair of the Gunkelman Award Selection Committee and Orientation and Student Success student service coordinator. “The award is important to our campus as each year we recognize a special individual who has gone above and beyond their job duties. The comments on the nomination forms show true appreciation for that individual.”
Nomination forms have been distributed through campus mail and are available at www.ndsu.edu/smile-ndsu. The nomination forms will be shared with the nominee.
Previous award recipients are not eligible. A list of previous awardees is available at www.ndsu.edu/smile-ndsu.
