What is a Northern STAR Award?
It's a Simple, Thoughtful Act of Recognition.
Why wait an entire year to nominate someone for an award? A Northern STAR Award is your way to take a moment to express your gratitude.
Recipients will feel immediate satisfaction knowing they are appreciated and acknowledged for all that they do, at the time they are doing it. Honorees will also receive a NMU lanyard, a gold star pin, recognition in Campus Connect, an entry for a quarterly prize, and will have the award added to their personnel files.
