Of The Months

For more than 50 years the National Residence Hall Honorary has administered the Of The Month, or OTM awards program. OTMs are a great tool to recognize the outstanding work done on campuses across NACURH. These awards celebrate a variety of categories that are first submitted and reviewed by an NRHH chapter where they select campus winners. Once campus winners are chosen those are submitted to the regional selection committee for review where those submissions are then passed along to the NACURH OTM selection committee for Organization-wide recognition.  Since its inception NRHH has received more than 1,000,000 submissions recognizing millions of individuals, groups, programs and organizations.

OTM Submission Update

In May 2020, NACURH partnered with our professional counterpart, ACUHO-I, to launch a re-developed OTM database. Though this database has had success in hosting OTMs over the past two years, it has also been riddled with a number of system-breaking bugs which have greatly affected user experiences that continue to hinder the site's performance. Due to this, NACURH recently decided to end our agreement with ACUHO-I regarding the OTM database and internally develop a temporary OTM system to replace the database as we continue to look for a permanent solution. This form is temporarily available on the NRHH website (nrhh.nacurh.org) while we work to develop a permanent OTM submission and data management system. 

Updates for Nominators

If your only use of the OTM database is as a nominator, this change will only affect where you are submitting your nominations. You will not log into an account anymore, and will submit your nominations through the form on the “Submit an OTM!” page. Unfortunately, we are unable to track your nominations through this system, but hope to be able to in the future once we find a permanent OTM solution.

Submit an OTM

Submitting an OTM is as easy as completing the Jotform below. We recommend completing the text submission before filling out the form so you can edit easily. As a reminder: OTMs are limited to 600 words per submission.
