<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings Rebekah,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Happy Monday, I hope you had a great weekend! I was wondering if you could give me a little information on the Silver and Sage award that many freshmen were awarded this year. I am currently teaching a success course for freshman and
I have had many questions from students about the award; everything from why they were awarded it to how they can meet renewal criteria to get the award next year. I have looked on the OSFA website to try and find additional information about the award but
have been unsuccessful. Are you able to provide any information about the specifics of the award that I can pass on to students and other advisors in my college?<o:p></o:p></p>
