Mr., Miss SFA Award nominations due Nov. 2

The deadline to nominate SFA seniors for the Mr. and Miss SFA honors is Nov. 2. Nomination forms are available online at www.sfaalumni.com and at the SFA Alumni Association in the Tracie D. Pearman Alumni Center.

Nominations may come from faculty, staff members or from an officer of a student organization of which the nominee is a member. Selections are made by a committee of faculty, staff, students and alumni. Finalists will be contacted for interviews.

To be eligible, SFA seniors must have completed 90 credit hours, with 48 of those hours completed at SFA, and must have a minimum 2.5 grade-point average. Candidates also must be within 12 months of graduating from SFA and also enrolled in the 2010 spring semester. Also, candidates must not have received this type of award from SFA or any other college or university.

The Mr. and Miss SFA title is an award presented each year by the SFA Alumni Association to exemplary students who well represent and promote SFA. Recipients are selected based on their scholarship, participation and leadership in academic and co-curricular activities, citizenship and service and loyalty to the university.

The Mr. SFA Award was established in honor of the late Stan McKewen, a 1934 SFA graduate. The Miss SFA Award was established in honor of Arnodean Covin, who was named Miss SFA in 1940, 1941 and 1942.

The awards are scheduled for presentation at an SFA basketball game during the spring semester.
