The Honors Committee, which administers the awards, will review the nominations and send them to the Board of Regents for final approval. Submissions are accepted throughout the year and considered for selection annually.

Nominations must be received by April 10 to be included on the next Honors Committee meeting agenda. Nominations received after that date will be held for future consideration.
