Of the Months (OTMs) – An Of the Month is an award given out by our organization each month. There are various categories including; Resident Assistant, Advisor, Executive Board Member, Student, Community, First Year Student, Spotlight, Organization and Program. An OTM spotlights someone, or a group of people who have gone above and beyond. When writing an OTM, be creative and most of all have fun! For more information, see this page.

Out of the Blues (OTBs) – Out of the Blues are a just a nice way of saying “thanks.” Perhaps someone holds the door open for you every single day, but you do not have a lot of money to buy them a gift. Sending an Out of the Blue is a great way to thank them!! To send an Out of the Blue, either stop by the RHSA office (Capen B-16) during office hours to pick one up and fill it out or e-mail nrhh@hawkmail.newpaltz.edu with the following information: Name of Recipient, Name of Sender (If you would like to include it), Recipient’s Address (Resident Hall/Room Number), and the message you would like to send. OTBs can also be sent to faculty and staff! Just make sure to address it to their office building!
