.: Determining an OTM Nominee

So...we have a bunch of categories, but what makes a good nominee for an OTM? Well, that’s any easy answer...anyone and everyone...anything and everything. The purpose of an OTM is not to win an award, it is to recognize someone or something for their great contributions to on campus living during a certain month. It can be something as simple as a student doing great on their academics or a program that was presented by a student to as complex as a week of programs or a resident assistant who did a program everyday of the month. The possibilities are endless. When looking at writing an OTM, take into consideration some of these questions when looking for a nominee in a category:

* Has someone had a positive influence on your campus?
* Has a student helped to better the on campus living environment they live in?
* Did the nominee do something that had never been done before on your campus?
* Was a new and creative program presented on your campus?
* Did someone continually go out of their way to do things to present a program or help out a fellow student?
* Did the nominee create a new found excitement on your campus?
* Did the nominee go above and beyond what is normally expected as a student, staff member, or advisor?
* Is there someone outside of your on campus environment that has had a positive impact on the students?
