Rational for Certificate of Recognition
The certificate recognizes the student's hard work, instills loyalty to SIAM, encourages students to join and work with SIAM, gives direct exposure of SIAM leadership to the students, and adds something noteworthy to the student's record for career building.
Criteria for selection
Participation in this program is optional. The Faculty Advisor(s) of every SIAM Student Chapter may annually select up to one student from each chapter to be recognized for exceptional service to the chapter. Selection of a recipient is done entirely at the advisor's discretion with no involvement or approval by SIAM. The recipient must be a student member of the chapter, but does not have to be a member of SIAM.
Certificate of Recognition
The selected student will receive the SIAM Student Chapter Certificate of Recognition signed by the SIAM Executive Director and the SIAM President. The names of students receiving the certificates of recognition will be announced in SIAM News and will be posted on the SIAM Web site.
Process
- The Membership Manager will send an email to all chapter faculty advisors announcing the recognition program and requesting that faculty advisors send the name of the student to whom the certificate will be awarded.
- The Faculty Advisor(s) of each chapter may select up to one student chapter member annually to receive the certificate of recognition. The Faculty Advisor(s) will email the following information to the Membership Administrative Assistant:
- Chapter name
- Student recipient full name
- Student recipient email address
- Name of person to whom the certificate should be mailed (faculty advisor, recipient, or other)
- Address to which certificate to be mailed (faculty advisor, recipient, or other)
- Name of faculty advisor(s) making the selection
- The certificate will be mailed to the Faculty Advisor(s) so that they may award it to the student personally. If requested by the Faculty Advisor, the certificate can be mailed directly to the recipient.
Timeline:
February 15: Announce certificate program and request that chapter advisors send name, email, and mailing address of recipient.
March 7: Deadline for receipt of names from chapter faculty advisor
April 1: Mail certificates (to advisor or recipient as indicated by faculty advisor)
