New and Improved Nomination Process!

Becoming a part of CCTOP begins with a nomination from a faculty member or administrator.  To help speed up, clarify and “green” up the process, we’ve moved our nomination form online.  Rather than filling out a form, and mailing or faxing it in, the process is now simply typing in the info and clicking, “submit!”  This triggers three things:

1) The student gets an email, with a letter explaining their nomination, links to the online Undergraduate Admissions applications, and a FEE WAIVER to print out and mail in.

2) The nominator gets an email, thanking them and confirming the submission.

3) I get the student and nominator information, instantly and accurately, without having to decipher handwriting!  Speaking as someone who has to type anything to make it legible, this is a great help.

This helps in a variety of ways; it means all of the info is accurate, which is a huge time-saver.  It gets everyone the necessary information immediately, without waiting for me to database the info, create a letter, and mail it out.  Even better, with 150-200 nominations per year, it will save an enormous amount of paper in nomination forms, faxes, letters, applications, responses, and envelopes.   

Students interested in Social Work are still welcome to have nominations submitted through this website; their information will be directed immediately to Dr. Dina Rosenfeld of the Silver School of Social Work, and they will get appropriate information.  Her info can also be found on this website. 

I’m looking forward to getting your nominations!
