NOMINATION PROCESS

Nomination By Others:
Faculty, staff and other students may nominate a student for the 2013 Student Achievement Awards. Nominations should be completed via myAU.american.edu (see instructions below). Students nominated will automatically receive an email notification that they have been nominated and will be asked to submit a resume and other supporting materials for their nomination.

Self-Nominations:
Self-Nominations should be completed via my.american.edu (see instructions below). The self-nomination form invites students to list faculty/staff who can speak to their contributions to American University.

Letters of Recommendation:
The nomination form asks the nominator (including self-nominations) to list no more than three (3) individuals (faculty/staff members) who will provide letters of recommendation that speak to the contributions the nominee has made to the American University. An email will be sent to those listed as providing a letter. Recommendation should reflect the criteria identified in the award. We discourage recommendations that intend to capture nominations for more than one award.
