Re: Call for Nominations for Distinguished Student Awards and Points of Distinction Scholar

Distinguished Student Awards

The Campus Life Council encourages nominations for this year’s Distinguished Student Awards. Students may nominate themselves or be nominated by a fellow student, faculty or staff member. Two distinguished students are chosen from each of the first-year, sophomore, junior and senior classes. College activities, leadership, community service, scholastics and other contributions to college life receive strong consideration. All nominees will be contacted for specific information relevant to the criteria stated. Award recipients will be announced at the annual Awards Ceremony at 11 a.m. Wednesday, April 28, in Leffler Chapel.

Points of Distinction Scholar

In keeping with our commitment to “Educate for Service,” the Points of Distinction Scholar award will be granted to a senior student who best demonstrates an effective integration of the four strategic signature attributes of an Elizabethtown College education: relationship-centered learning, international and intercultural understanding, purposeful life work and experiential learning. Evidence of his or her engagement with our Points of Distinction may include achievements made through advising or mentoring relationships, international study or intercultural service project, a fulfilling internship experience, a campus or community leadership role, how he or she has integrated service into personal educational goals, etc. The Points of Distinction Scholar will be chosen from among those students who apply for the Distinguished Student Award (not a separate application process). This student also will be recognized at the Awards Ceremony.

Nominations (including student name(s) and class status) should be e-mailed to Brenda Brandt at brandtbl@etown.edu no later than 5 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30.
