Promising ذكذكتسئµ


PURPOSE

The Promising ذكذكتسئµ award is given to eight (8) students who have demonstrated great promise in their chosen fields through academic performance and who show great potential for future community and university service through co-curricular involvement.


ELIGIBLE NOMINEES

Students that will be graduating in Fall, Spring, or Summer (i.e. Fall 2022, Spring 2023, or Summer 2023) are eligible to be nominated for the Promising ذكذكتسئµ awards. The university classifies a senior student as a student who has earned a minimum of ninety (90) credit hours or more; however, we allow students to be nominated if they have earned a minimum of eighty (80) credit hours to include students who plan to graduate in the summer.


CONSIDERATIONS FOR NOMINATORS

When choosing who to nominate for a Promising ذكذكتسئµ award, consider a student who has a strong GPA, strong character, and a strong love for the ذكذكتسئµ. Students selected for a Promising ذكذكتسئµ Award should exemplify what the ذكذكتسئµ stands for. Specifically, consider nominating students who align with the mission of the ذكذكتسئµ, which is to be innovative, inclusive, engaged, evolving, and global.


NOMINATION PROCESS

Currently employed ذكذكتسئµ faculty and staff are the only individuals permitted to nominate students that are graduating in Fall, Spring, or Summer (i.e Fall 2022, Spring 2023, Summer 2023) for the Promising ذكذكتسئµ awards. Nominators can nominate two (2) students one (1) time. Nominators must include the nominee’s email address and L number. Nominated students are verified with the Registrar’s Office to ensure they have earned a minimum of eighty (80) hours. If a student has not met the qualification, the nominator will be informed and allowed to submit another student by the date set by the Office of ذكذكتسئµ Relations.


SELECTION PROCESS

After nominations close, ذكذكتسئµ faculty and staff will be permitted to vote on the top eight (8) candidates of their choice one (1) time. After voting closes the top sixteen (16) candidates will advance to round two with the interview panel. The top sixteen (16) finalists will be contacted by the Office of ذكذكتسئµ Relations. The finalists will have one (1) week to submit their headshot and resume to the Office of ذكذكتسئµ Relations. Free headshots can be taken through the UNA Career Center. All eligible sixteen (16) finalists will be interviewed by an interview panel composed of faculty, staff, and alumni representatives.


HONORS

Students selected as Promising ذكذكتسئµ award recipients will be honored at the annual Homecoming ذكذكتسئµ Awards ceremony, featured in the Homecoming Parade, and receive a custom made Promising ذكذكتسئµ honor stole that can be worn at graduation. Promising ذكذكتسئµ will also have their picture professionally taken by the University photographer. Their names will be listed on the alumni relations web page. Additional honors will also be bestowed on the Promising ذكذكتسئµ winners.
