    1. Nominator - Maria Marron: Maria nominated Zac Franzen. "Zac did a remarkable job on lunch for the OPCF board members Monday in an emergency after Panera's system crashed, and he quickly had to have a Panera-alternative plan! He also set up signage and communicated extensively with the group's secretary. KUDOS to Zac." 
    2. Nominee - Shoun Hill: Shoun was nominated by Tiffany Groteluschen. "Thank you, Shoun for all you have done for the Perry Photo Challenge. From helping double check the canvas pages, to the kickoff meeting, answering student question, getting the students work to the judges, entertaining the judges and everything else in between. Our college is lucky to have you and your expertise in photo journalism. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to this event!"
