National Residence Halls Honorary

  • Collect quotes about the person or program to include in your OTM.
  • Write in a narrative style that paints a picture for the reader.
  • Type your OTMs on a Word/Google document, then copy and paste onto the OTM website.
  • Break your OTM up into more than one paragraph to ensure your reader doesn’t get bored.  Plus, it makes it easier to read!
  • Use month-specific examples and events because it is an Of the Month, not an Of the Person/Program.
  • Write about something/someone you are passionate about!
  • Remember that these OTMs are public and can be ready by ANYONE, including the individuals you write about! So make them amazing!
  • Proofread your OTM before submitting it to ensure that spelling and grammar are correct!
  • Start your OTM at least two weeks in advance of the due date to ensure your stress level stays low and the quality of the OTM stays high!

Never be afraid to stop by the NRHH office in the RSC and ask for help! We’re here for you!
