SGA Organization and Inauguration Awards: Faculty Member of the Year and Outstanding Service to Students

The time of year has come around for the annual Organization and Inauguration Ceremony presented by the Student Government Association. The purpose of this event is to recognize the dedication and hard work of student organizations, defined as groups recognized by the Student Life Committee of Elon University, and University programs, defined as groups funded by or managed by a department of Elon University. The event will also serve as the ceremonial “Change of Command” for the position of SGA Executive President and swearing in of the SGA’s Executive Officers.

There are two awards that any student can nominate someone for– the Faculty Member of the Year Award and Outstanding Service to Students Award. The nominations for these two awards will by due Wednesday morning (3-9-11) at 10 a.m. at the SGA office (Moseley 221-A) in hard copy form.

The criteria for the Outstanding Service to Students Award** are as follows:

  • The staff member demonstrates outstanding service to students within their job.
  • A member of the staff, which goes beyond their job description in order to better service students.
