Student Leadership Award Nominations

Southwestern's Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa, the National Leadership


Honor Society, is now accepting nominations for Southwestern's


Twelfth Annual Student Leadership Awards.  Students selected in each


category will be recognized at an awards dinner on April 22 with a


significant plaque, and those not graduating this year, will receive a


$1,000 Shilling Leadership Scholarship.


 


The Leadership awards recognize outstanding student leaders in each of


the four classes, as well as the outstanding Emerging Student Leader


(first-year or sophomore) and the outstanding Overall Student Leader


(junior or senior).  A plaque is also given to the student


organization selected as promoting the greatest amount of leadership.


 


The Student Leadership Awards were created to recognize not only


students with strong academics, but students who make a difference on


the Southwestern campus because of their leadership.


 


You may nominate a student by simply sending an email with the


nominee's name to leesem@southwestern.edu by Thursday, April 1.  The


nominated students will then be asked to submit a resume and respond


to the following questions, which will be reviewed by a selection committee:

Define leadership in your own words; Give an example demonstrating your leadership

during your time at Southwestern; What leadership knowledge, skills, and abilities have

you used and how do you plan to continue to develop them?


 


Please be sure to indicate one of the following categories when you


submit a nomination:


 


First-Year Award


Sophomore Award


Junior Award


Senior Award


Emerging Leader Award (first-year or sophomore)


Overall Leader Award (junior or senior)
