The time has come once again to begin the process of selecting our undergraduate “Who’s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities” nominees for the 2016-17 academic year.

For those of you who have contact with our undergraduate population, you have the opportunity to make nominations by selecting 20 students who you feel are worthy of recognition from the students who qualify for selection. These students are eligible for nomination and expect to graduate either midyear or spring (December 2016 or April 2017).

In addition, they all have a GPA of at least 3.50 and have turned in their application for degree. Other criteria for choosing a student include their demonstration of:

• Personal integrity
• Involvement in the George Fox community
• Service to the community at large

One-hundred-and-sixty-five students are eligible for nomination based on GPA alone. We will record your top-20 selections and determine the top-25 choices university-wide. We will then invite the top-25 students to respond. All students who respond will be awarded the “Who’s Who” honor.

Please note: There may be others who qualify to be on this list, but because they have not registered for commencement at the time of the selection process, they are not on this list.

To make your selection please select 20 students in the list on this survey. Please choose no more than 20 students.

Please contact Jere Witherspoon (jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu) in the student life office if you have any questions. Please mark your selection of 20 students no later than Friday, Nov. 11, 2016.
