How to Nominate
Congratulations on considering this important step in recognizing a worthwhile individual with this outstanding award!

The first step to take is to see if the individual you are considering has been honored in the past. View the list to the left for the complete list.

You will notice that you need to submit a one page summary of the individuals vita/resume for your candidate. We encourage you to contact a spouse, their school or college, alumni records, local newspaper archives and Google (www.google.com) are also tremendous sources to acquire additional information. It is the desire of the Wartburg Alumni Association that the nomination be made confidentially and without the knowledge of the nominee.

You will also find that you should submit two letters of support for the nomination. Again, the same sources you would use for finding the resume might be helpful in picking the letter writers. Professional colleagues, the department chair, other past Alumni Citation Award recipients, and students of faculty nominees make excellent supporters. Be sure to collect mailing addresses, phone numbers, fax number and e-mail addresses of these folks. You usually approach 6-7 people, simply because not everyone will follow thru with the request and not everyone writes an excellent letter. This gives you some choice in the letters you wish to submit. In your letter to them, ask them to address the letter to the committee (Alumni Citation Awards Committee, Alumni Office, Luther Hall, Waverly, IA 50677) but mail the letter to you – so you can keep track of what’s coming in.

Keep the nomination form, your letter, the resume, the one-page summary and your two letters in a loose format – do not put them in a binder. Get these to the Association by December 1, and relax! You’ve done good work!

The Association will notify you if your candidate will be honored. If your candidate is not immediately honored, do not give up! The Awards Committee holds nominations for three years – which gives you the opportunity to update your candidate’s resume and collect additional support letters.
