There are only 94 days until graduation. Seniors are anxiously finishing the last of their classes in preparation for the big day. The seniors in the College of Forestry have played a big role within the college; they are the role models and mentors for the underclassman, and are living proof that we can make it through college successfully. Listed below, there are two awards that graduating seniors can be nominated for to reward them for all of their hard work.
The Harold Bowerman Leadership Award
This award is presented annually to a graduating senior who exemplifies outstanding leadership or service in not only the College of Forestry, but in the OSU community, or the state/nation/world as well. Nominations for this award may be made by students, faculty, or staff members of the College of Forestry. Self-nominations are also permitted.
To nominate a worthy senior, a complete nomination packet will include:
The Paul and Neva Dunn Senior Award
This award is also presented annually to an outstanding graduating senior. This award is based on high scholastic achievement combined with potential professional ability. Involvement in college, university, or community activities, offices held, and forestry work background proves as evidence of this professional ability.
To nominate an outstanding senior, a complete nomination packet will include:
Both award nomination packets must be submitted to Kira Hughes in the Student Services Office (Peavy Hall 250) by Friday, May 8, 2015 by 5 pm.
