Please explain the outstanding contributions of the nominee during the month of nomination

It is with great pleasure to nominate Andrew Bell as Student of the Month for February. During the month of February, Andrew Bell has gone above and beyond what other people would do not only on HGB, but also in other areas of Goodnow Hall. As President of the Goodnow Community Service Club, Andrew spent a lot of time organizing a Penny War to raise money for Habitat for Humanity: The House that K-State Built. Not only did Andrew take the time to get two costumes donated for the winning Resident Assistant’s, but he also spent time encouraging people to donate money to a worthy cause as well as spending time every night counting the money that was raised to display a running total at the front desk. Secondly, this month Andrew received a phone call from a CA on duty asking him if he was a tour guide because the CA couldn’t find the tour-guide list. Even though Andrew had never given a tour before, he gladly volunteered to take on the task of giving a tour. Because he not only did an excellent job of giving one tour, he has been called several times to give tours and has been placed on the top of our list. Although Andrew does not have a voting position on our HGB, he regularly attends the meetings giving his thoughts and views on items that are being discussed. During February, when an ARH position opened up and didn’t get filled, Andrew volunteered his time to help represent Goodnow Hall at ARH meetings. Because of this, he was also part of a smoking resolution in Residence Halls, which was very important in that it was his vote that represented me and other non-smokers of Goodnow Hall. In fact, Andrew has enjoyed ARH so much, that he is currently running for the ARH position for next year. Andrew enjoys taking on the challenge of helping people with their computer problems. When I’ve talked to him about computer problems he is always willing to share his expertise to someone who doesn’t always know what they are doing. He is also one that will not only tell you how to fix the problem, but he will stop what he is doing and go show you how to fix it. In fact, Andrew installed my CD re- writeable drive, and has also helped many other people on our floor with their computer problems. Even though Andrew stays very active in HGB and other activities, he still finds time to help organize other non-campus events. For example, Andrew is currently the Logistics Coordinator for the first ever National 4-H Technology Conference in which he has been spending a great deal of time to plan. Also, because of his National 4-H Technology Team experience, he is currently working on starting a Kansas 4-H Technology Team. As an incoming freshman this year, I believe that Andrew Bell is on of the most responsible, outgoing, and positive role models in Goodnow Hall. He sets high goals and doesn’t stop until he achieves them and has been a vital asset to the sixth floor. He not only stays positive, but also has a big influence on people. It just amazes me that Andrew was able to do all that as well as stay caught up with his classes in the month of February, but that just shows you how responsible he is. I believe that Andrew Bell is a very deserving recipient of the February Student of the Month Award.
