The IPFW Student Life Office has opened its annual nomination process to students who want to nominate student leaders, campus staff and faculty who have demonstrated quality initiative this past year.
The nominations will culminate in the Student Achievement Celebration, where the nominees will be invited to attend a reception. Winners from each of 10 award categories will be announced at that time.
“I think it speaks volumes that our students are able to decide who they think should be receiving an award rather than [it] being solely an administrative call,” said Thomas Landis, the Activities Coordinator of the Student Life Office, who will be overseeing the nomination process. “I think it is great that the school allows the opportunity for students to engage the campus in so many ways.”
Award recommendations are divided into two categories. In the first category, student nominations can be made to recommend individual classmates for awards like the Student Leader of the Year, Student Organization Officer of the Year and five other areas of recognition. Students can also nominate staff and faculty for three separate awards, including the Student Organization Advisor of the Year, Service to Students and the Students Choice Award for Teaching Excellence.
Forms are available online, either at or by logging on to the Student Life webpage and clicking on the Student Achievement Celebration link, listed under Recognition Programs.
All online nominations are due by midnight, March 4. Winners will be announced during the Student Achievement Celebration, which will be held April 18.
