The "Of the Month" Award or OTM is a service of the National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH) intended to recognize the outstanding contributions of individuals, groups, and programs of on-campus living communities of colleges and universities nation-wide. Any person affiliated with the on-campus living community may submit or be nominated for an OTM at https://www.nrhh.nacurh.org/submit-an-otm. Every OTM should be month-specific and illustrate how the nominee went above and beyond expectations during the month of nomination. Campus winners are selected each month by the UNM Cherry and Silver Chapter of NRHH and are submitted to the regional level, where they may be considered for regional and national recognition.

OTMs are grouped into three categories: individual, group, or program. Individual and group OTMs are a maximum of 600 words and should describe the outstanding accomplishments of an individual or group within that month of submission. Program OTMs allow for various types of programs on campus and can be nominated during the month in which it occurred. Program OTMs are broken down into several sections with directive questions about the program with individual word maximums.
