Described activities should have taken place five or fewer years from time of application. The application can include up to five letters of support from constituents addressing how their personal/professional, societal (ASEE), or institutional experience has been affected by the actions of the ASEE constituent group.
Finalists will be asked to submit a 3-6 minute video (low production costs expected and paid for by the constituent group) that highlights their activities and participation. This could be a voiced-over power point, or include snippets of member activities with text overlay or voice-over description of the impact.
