Excellence in Professionalism Award Committee is Taking March Nominations!
We are taking nominations for February’s award winner, so be sure to submit your nominee!
“On my honor, as a member of the UTMB community, I pledge to act with integrity, compassion, and respect in all my academic and professional endeavors.”
The Honor Pledge Committee would like to introduce a monthly award for students who show exemplary professionalism within the UTMB community.
The purpose of the Excellence in Professionalism Award is to recognize a student each month that has shown exemplary professionalism within the UTMB community. This student would have exhibited traits of the honor pledge and the three characteristics of the professionalism charter: integrity, compassion, and respect.
The Honor Pledge Award Committee will review the nominees and choose three finalists to be voted on by the Student Affairs Deans of each school every month. To eliminate bias, the nomination forms will be presented anonymously to the Honor Pledge Award Committee and the Student Affairs Deans of the schools. The honorees will receive a certificate of acknowledgement, a gift certificate, recognition in campus publications and recognition by the Student Affairs Dean of the student’s school.
All students and faculty members can nominate students.
Students may not nominate themselves.
Nominations will be accepted starting January 2011. If you have any questions, please contact Ericka Hailey in the Office of Student Life, ext. 79056 or ekhailey@utmb.edu.
