Council awards

Council Member of the Year

This campus-wide award is given to one council member for his or her exceptional work and continuous dedication to the halls or apartments — whether it is a floor/wing or apartment representative or executive board member.

Nominations can only come from the hall director and student advisers, and there can be only one nomination from each council. Nominations are kept secret, and NRHH selects a winner, which is announced at the Residence Life Leadership Awards ceremony.

Council Program of the Year

NRHH annually picks a program of the year. This program, regardless of whether it won or was nominated for an OTM, can win for various reasons, such as meeting residents' needs and quality.

Hall and Apartment Councils, NRHH members, and Residence Life staff submit nominations, which are voted on by active NRHH members. The winner is announced at the Residence Life Leadership Awards ceremony.
