There are three categories that you can nominate someone for:

* Most SOOPPworthy Upper Year: A financial award for upper year students. (We were gonna call it the Most SOOPPworthy Non-First-Year Non-Graduating Student Award, but that's kinda long.) Basically, if you're not a "real" first year, and you're not graduating, this one's for you!

* Most SOOPPworthy Graduate: A recognition award for graduating students. No money for this one, cause hey, you're getting a real job now! (Heh, sucker.)

Send your nominations to sock@soopp.com. THE LAST DAY FOR NOMINATIONS IS FEBRUARY 28th. And you can't nominate yourself! Be sure to send us the following:

- Your name, callsign, and email address
- The name, callsign, picture and email address of the person you're nominating
- Which award your nominee qualifies for
- Why your nominee is awesome and deserves to win

The winners will be announced at Reflections. Good luck!

Help us out by completing the survey in the link below about how stressed you feel, the probable causes of that stress, how you relieve it and how that stress has affected you.

Fill out the survey and get entered into a draw to win the grand prize: a Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS digital camera! The survey is completely anonymous, but you must provide your school email to be eligible for the draw. Each student may only fill out the survey once from now until December 31st (when it closes).

The findings will be put into a report and be presented to the PEO, OPSE, CODE, etc. to bring about change. The findings and report will also be available to you, the students, in hopes to combat the stress.
