Student Recognition Banquet
Submitted by Ben King, king.478@osu.edu
The Student Recognition Banquet is April 2nd this year so it is time for the committee to select those outstanding students that will be recognized at the banquet this year. Students will be completing their application documents, but they may be contacting you for endorsement statements to submit on their behalf. Some students may need some encouragement so if you know a deserving student, please consider giving them a nudge to complete the application. Please keep in mind that eligible students are those that have graduated Summer or Autumn of 2019, or will graduate Spring 2020. Any student applying for consideration must have a minimum of 3.0 GPA to be eligible, but please try to keep those students in mind that are contributing above and beyond simply academic success.
The application document and endorsement document are both Microsoft Word documents this year, and can be accessed through the accompanying hyperlinks. When the hyperlink is selected it will download the Word document, if it does not open automatically you may need to navigate to your Downloads folder to open it. If you are using a mobile device, then you may need to prompt the browser to download the file instead of previewing the file. If you are using a mobile device you will need to make sure that you have the MS Word app on your device.
All students will be receiving an email with similar instructions, but again, please consider mentioning the outstanding student award to those students that you feel would be good candidates.
