Any program that a student, RA, or any organization or department organizes or sponsors can be nominated for the Program OTM.
There are four types of Program OTMs. The four categories are Community Service , Diversity , Educational , and Social . When nominating a program chose the category that most closely fits.
CRITERIA QUESTIONS:
- What makes your program unique from what is done at other schools?
- What percent of your target group showed up?
- Is the cost per person feasible in terms of adaptability to other schools?
- Did the program have a lasting effect on residents?
- Did the program meet all the goals that were set?
- What was the quality of the program (evaluation)?
For both educational and social programs, the judging committees look for creativity, originality, financial feasibility, percent of attendance, and adaptability to other campuses. If the nomination is in conjunctions with a nationally recognized week or holiday, the nomination needs to display how our campus has approached the program in a new or different way. Expanding on the adaptability questions is always helpful; try to list resources used, etc. These nominations are not only giving recognition to a group of leaders having done a super job on programming, but it becomes a resource and a guide for leaders on other campuses. With an educational program nominee, some consideration is given to the relevance of the issue on our campus, so mention if the program addresses a certain problem or circumstance. Timeliness of response to an issue is also a favorable quality in an original program. Nominations for a community service program should list resources contacted, expand on the purpose of the program. and describe the success of the program.
Nominations are due the first Sunday of the month following the month of nomination (i.e.. October Of The Month nominations are due by the first Sunday of November).
