Curious about how winners are chosen?

Each month the GSA's Director of Administration sends out an email with the link to the award application! The application cycle is open for the two weeks prior to the next GBM. 
Once the application closes, the Director of Administration anonymizes each response and formats the submissions in a new survey which is sent to the GSA Council (The GSA Executive Board and the GSA Program Representatives). The council votes on the anonymous submissions and the Director of Administration tallys up the votes! The winners are then presented in the upcoming General Body Meeting!
