How will the student be recognized?
The Student Leader of The Month will receive a congratulatory email with specific instructions to complete a questionnaire about their leadership experience. Their responses will be featured on the SLD website and social media. We will also ask that you highlight SLOTM on your social media outlets and listservs. All SLOTMs will be invited to attend the Magnolia Student Leadership & Service Awards.
How will the Student Leader of The Month be selected?
Every month a DOS partner will be asked to nominate a student in their area who best exhibits the qualities of this award. One partner will be selected for every month during the Fall and Spring semester. Offices will be asked to submit the students’ name, contact information, a picture of the student in action (if available), and a brief description as to why this student is deserving of this honor including which aspect(s) of the LEPS this student demonstrates as a leader.
Why was the SLOTM created?
Vanderbilt students are constantly engaged in positive activities and we want to generate ongoing recognition efforts that highlight the extraordinary work that our student leaders do on behalf of the Vanderbilt community. Our office has a goal to share the good news of Vanderbilt student leaders. We hope that you’ll help us in this effort.
