Do you have a mentor who’s inspired your interest in the field of collegiate recreation? Do you know someone who continues to deepen your commitment to the students you serve? Someone who lives these words from composer David Stoddard: “Getting the most out of life isn’t about how much you keep for yourself, but how much you pour into others”? If the answer is yes to any of those questions, are you looking for a way to say thank you?
Consider showing your appreciation—and celebrating your mentor’s commitment to developing the next generation of leaders—by nominating them for a 2016 Horace Moody Award by the December 15 deadline. Now is the time to show your mentor how much you value the impact they’ve made on your professional growth!
Every year, Horace Moody Awards are presented to six NIRSA professional members—one from each of the six NIRSA regions—to recognize their contributions to student development. Recipients will be announced at the regional meetings held at the 2016 NIRSA Annual Conference & Recreational Sports Expo taking place in Kissimmee, Florida from April 3–6 as well as during the Student Member Connection Meeting. The six award winners will receive an inscribed plaque at NIRSA 2016, and will be recognized on the NIRSA website, in the NIRSA News, and in an issue of the NIRSA Know.
This opportunity to honor the outstanding professionals who have made significant contributions to student development within your community ends on December 15—so nominate your mentor for a 2016 Horace Moody Award today!
