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

Jorgena is an amazing individual. She is a studious student, always striving for academic excellence, a great friend, and on top of that, she is training for a marathon.

Jorgena has done a lot in the month of April to help others. On the very first day, she decided to make breakfast for all of her roommates so that they could celebrate “April Fool’s Day” in a more happy and fun way. Later in the month, she created an Easter Egg hunt for each of her roommates to help them feel a little more at home during Easter. She even customized each Easter Egg Hunt to what the person liked, leaving little quotes around their rooms giving hints to where hidden treasures lay. She has had at least one test every week in April, and she has spent countless hours studying for those tests. With all of her hard work, she has done very well in her classes. As she prepared for finals she took the initiative to form and participate in study groups to help her.

Along with being such an excellent student, she is a UTF for a class, and with that job she has taken on a huge amount of responsibility. She has 74 students in her class, and so she spends a lot of time correcting tests, taking attendance, and planning SIs. She has been very busy UTFing in April as she prepares the students in her Supplemental Instruction class for upcoming finals. She has definitely gone above and beyond the call of duty in her job. She has also done a lot in a Pre-Vet club she belongs too, planning activities in April (including a closing social), and planning as well as attending meetings. However, if anyone needed her help or just wanted to hang out with her, she would make time for that individual. She went and supported one of her roommates at her graduation from LDS Institute. While studying for finals, she made treats for her roommates to help them get through their studying, even though she couldn’t eat any of the treats herself. She offered to go on walks with them to get out and take a study break as well, and she supported her RA on his last event of the year, including the musical number “Living on a Prayer.” Jorgena is very busy with classes and a job, and yet she still finds time to serve. In April she has helped with "A-Week of Service" whenever she could find the time, and she even helped one of her roommates with her NRHH Recognition duties, even though Jorgena is not in NRHH. She is always trying to find ways to serve. She volunteered at Dance Fest through RHA, just because she had a few spare hours on her weekend and she heard that she could go do more service. Jorgena is an amazing example to me of what service is really about. Jorgena has truly gone above and beyond the extra mile in April.
