The annual Honors Recognition Banquet at Midwestern State University, the marquee student academic and leadership award occasion of the year, will be held Friday, April 25, 2025. As has been the tradition at MSU, all
academic programs, administrative departments, and registered student organizations are invited to nominate students for the awards. Each program, department, or organization may nominate one individual student for each award category.
Completed nominations must be submitted by midnight on Monday, March 3, 2025.
Additional information:
1. Each program, department, or registered student organization may submit up to fourteen total nominations (one from each category). You may nominate students who are members of your program or organization, as well as those
who are not directly affiliated.
2. Nominations should be based on scholarship, service, leadership, involvement, and character.
3. Students must be enrolled at MSU for the spring 2025 semester.
4. Students should be nominated within their current academic classification (FR, SO, JR, SR, GRAD), except for the Man of the Year, Woman of the Year, the Viola Grady Leadership Award, and the Howard Farrell Community Excellence Award, which are open to
students from all classifications.
In order for a nominee to be considered for these awards, he/she MUST also submit a Nominee Information Form by midnight on Monday, March 3, 2025. The Nominee Information Form may be accessed on the my.msutexas portal or Dean of Students’ website under
