Who votes to select the Honor Medallion Best Overall?

• A. Class and staff by vote
• B. Students only by public vote
• C. Faculty only
• D. Administrative committee

Answer: (A)

The vote for the Honor Medallion Best Overall is designed to involve the campus community by including both students and staff. This ensures the recipient’s impact is recognized from multiple perspectives—those who study here and those who work here daily—so the award reflects broad support and legitimacy. Involving class and staff in the voting helps prevent a narrow viewpoint and demonstrates that the honor represents the collective experience and values of the college community.

Choosing only students, only faculty, or an administrative committee would limit whose voices are heard and could skew the result away from a true campus-wide endorsement. Therefore, having both students and staff vote is the most inclusive and representative approach.
