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!
