Student Awards
STUDENT AWARD NOMINATIONS begin March 1st
Packets due by 5:00 pm on April 16
Oregon Tech students deserve recognition for their achievements, dedication, and service, yet each year only few receive student award nominations.
Any Faculty, Administrator, Staff, or Student may make student award nominations. You may nominate multiple students for the same award or one student for several, and a student may nominate him or herself.
How to Nominate a Student
- Meet with the student to inform him/her of your desire to complete a Student Award Nomination.
- Write a letter of nomination and indicate for which Student Award. Clearly state how the student meets the criteria for the particular award. Criteria for each award are available to the right. Nomination is only considered for that specific award and not for others; however, you may nominate a student for more than one award with a separate Student Award Nomination letter.
- Assist the student in receiving 1-3 additional letters of support of the nomination from other faculty members, advisors, administrators, students, etc.
- Direct the student to complete the Student Biography. This form is submitted electronically.
- Turn in completed Student Award Nomination packet (letter of nomination and letters of support) to the Student Affairs office located in the College Union, Room 217 or submit by e-mail to nellie.stewart@oit.edu. The Student Biography must be submitted electronically.
