Nominees Sought for Top Senior Awards

Each year, the Arkansas Tech University community recognizes three outstanding graduating seniors. The awards are the Alfred J. Crabaugh Outstanding Senior Male, the Margaret Young Outstanding Senior Female, and the Jill Lestage Brown Service Leadership Award.

As ATU prepares to select students to receive these honors, the Division of Student Services is requesting assistance from faculty and staff in identifying potential candidates. Students nominated for these awards must be scheduled to graduate in 2018 at either the May, August or December 2018 ceremonies.

All candidates should have excellent academic credentials along with a significant level of campus involvement through academic and/or co-curricular contributions. Nominees for the Jill Lestage Brown Service Leadership Award should also focus on students who seek to improve society through unselfish voluntary service to others.

Nominations must be e-mailed to Amy Pennington, dean of students (apennington@atu.edu) by 5 p.m. on Friday, March 2. Nominations should include the name of the student and a brief statement about why the student should be considered. Once nominated, students will be contacted and asked to provide additional information.
