Nominations are requested for the Mary McCannel Gunkelman Recognition Award, which annually recognizes a person who has made the most significant and unselfish contributions to a happy environment for NDSU students.
The nomination form and information on previous winners are available on the award website.
The honor was established in 1987, by the late John L. Gunkelman and his family in memory of Mrs. Gunkelman, who was a 1942 graduate of the College of Home Economics. She was dedicated to the principle that students would be more likely to attain their full potential if they were working and living in an enjoyable environment.
Campus community members are invited to nominate a student or employee of NDSU. Nomination information can be found online. Provide specific examples of how this individual has made NDSU a pleasant, cheerful campus for students during the current academic year. Nomination forms will be shared with the nominee.
The deadline for nominations is March 28.
The award ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday, May 4, at 3 p.m. at the Harry D. McGovern Alumni Center. The ceremony also will be streamed live on Zoom.
As a student-focused, land-grant, research university, we serve our citizens.
