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

Jaclyn Myers is an outstanding freshman resident on my floor. Although her classes keep her very busy, she serve as Floor Senator, and as such, is actively involved in the floor and strives to get others involved as well. This was readily apparent in her recent efforts to get girls from the floor involved in an All-Hall program called the Old Masters Dinner.

Windsor Hall and Wiley Hall recently hosted the Old Masters Dinner, a chance for residents to have dinner with a distinguished Purdue alumnus. However, not many girls from Windsor Hall were signing up for the event. When Jaclyn became aware of this, she took it upon herself to get girls from our floor to attend the dinner. She went door-to-door and explained the event to the other girls, collecting the names of girls who wanted to attend. The night of the dinner, she helped me remind girls about the event, calling several girls to ensure they still planned to attend. Due to Jaclyn's efforts, almost half of the girls who attended the dinner were from our floor.

I was very impressed with Jaclyn's motivation and willingness to step up and make sure the event was a success. Had Jaclyn not worked so hard to get the other girls involved, I doubt anyone from my floor would have attended the dinner. Jaclyn has been a tremendous asset to me this year, and this situation is a perfect example of how she is positively impacting the floor. Therefore, I am nominating Jaclyn Myers for First Year Student of the Month.
