Accomplished

Picking up my mail today, there happened to be a big paper tube accompanying the regular catalogs/bills/junk. Even more curious, it was addressed to me. Odd…... I wasn’t expecting anything.
Inside was a letter from the Dean of the Faculty of Computer Science, as well as a sheet of paper that had the words Sean Smith and Citizenship Award in big, fancy lettering.
While I can’t say this comes as a COMPLETE surprise, the timing was somewhat unexpected. I knew Mike had written up a nomination form (and Mike, reading this letter, you obviously put in a lot), and that Jon and Mark had signed it, but the e-mail that requests nominations each term also states that “Students who are nominated for an award will be contacted by the Scholarship Committee so they can provide a résumé, transcript and any other information which they think the Committee should consider in its decision.” Now, I haven’t heard anything about it since I was told by my nominators that I had been nominated, and in fact, have been asked by some of them if I have heard anything, cause they hadn’t when the summer term nominations request went out.
In the end, I am honored to have been considered, and selected for this award. I would like to thank all of those who helped make this possible, including my nominators, and all of those who actually came out to the events I arranged.
Congratulations – the award is certainly well-deserved. I’m not sure what is going on with this particular round of awards. Perhaps they thought the letter was so well-written that further information was unnecessary ;)
Hey Mike, remind me to get you to write my mortgage application for me.
Grats, Sean. We were hoping this would be an appropriate token of appreciation for all you did last term of society. While it came a bit late, hopefully you can still bask in the spoils of a job well done.
