Nominations due by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 15

The Board of Governors are once again soliciting nominations for the annual Citizen Scholar Award. Since the award was created in 2007, fifty-three exceptional students have been chosen to receive this prestigious honor, and the Missouri State University Board of Governors is expecting to recognize six more outstanding students this fall.

If you are a faculty or staff member who knows of a student who excels academically and exemplifies the Public Affairs mission, please download the nomination packet from the Citizen Scholar homepage and submit it to the Office of Student Affairs. Please be sure to read the “Criteria for Consideration and Selection” sheet, and provide sufficient details in your submission.

Recipients will receive an engraved memento and recognition on a plaque in the Plaster Student Union Parliamentary Room (PSU 313). In addition, the Citizen Scholars are recognized at the Board of Governor’s meeting on December 15, 2016, at a Board of Governors breakfast on December 16, 2016, and at various times throughout the academic year.

Questions or comments may be directed to the Office of Student Affairs in Carrington 200 (417-836-5526).
