Covenant Award for Service

The faculty and staff on the selection committee seek your nomination for a student whose life reflects the service value for which this Covenant Award is named. In order to recognize the many ways this value can be manifested, there is no grade point average requirement. Eligibility for this distinction is open to all full-time students who have not received a Covenant Award previously. The selection committee wishes to acknowledge students committed to service. Students nominated for the Service award recognize that “Every learner benefits from a devotion to service at Augustana and in the larger community.”

In making your nomination, please respond to the following questions providing examples or anecdotes in a supportive letter attached to this form. Your letter should provide substantial background about the nominee.

All nominations are due on Monday, February 18, 2013. If you have any questions, please contact Sandi Vietor at sandi.vietor@augie.edu or 274.4127. This award will be presented at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 22, 2013 during the campus-wide celebration of Verdier 2013 at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church.
