BYU Residence Halls Association

About Of the Months

Of the Months (OTMs) are part of a nationally sponsored student recognition program.  At BYU, RHA council members recognize students of the month from each hall advisor’s building(s).  One of those students is recognized every month at the area level, and one is chosen to represent BYU’s residence halls at the regional and national levels.

Students of the month will be posted on this web site throughout the school year. 

OTMs are written to recognize month-specific contributions individuals make to their community.  Awards are judged on the following criteria:

  • What outstanding contributions did the individual make during the month of nomination?
  • How has this person impacted the residence halls and campus?
  • What interaction did the nominee have with his/her residence hall government or individual hall during the month of nomination?
  • What organizations and activities was the individual involved in during the month of nomination?
  • How does the student recognize and motivate others?
